The Most Rev'd and Rt. Hon. Justin Welby, The Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, will be formally enthroned as the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury and spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion at a ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral at 2:30 pm London time today. While he is not a "Pope" and his authority even in the Church of England is limited, he is looked to for guidance on spiritual matters by the 80 million members of the worldwide Anglican Communion, the third largest body of Christians on the planet and considered "first among equals" by the Primates (Archbishops and Presiding Bishops) of the 38 autonomous provinces of the Communion of which the Episcopal Church in the United States is one. A new Archbishop of Canterbury is kind of a big deal, especially for the British: his rank in the realm is just below that of the Royal Family itself.
