THREE'S NOT A CROWD
LARGE FAMILIES IN PUBLIC INTEREST VIEWS OF ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY The Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr Fisher) told Church of England clergymen the other day that he found it most difficult to attatch the word “family” to a family of one. “It isn’t easy to attach it to a family of two, but I begin to feel happier when it’s a family of three, so that the children can grow up with all that interchange that makes a family,” Dr Fisher said. “In the public interest nothing is more desirable than that the cleigy of the Church of England should still have large families; it is desirable because so many outstanding men and women in British history were children of Church of England parsonages.” . The Archbishop, who married a clergyman’s daughter, has six sons.
