Justin Welby, a former oil-industry executive, is being enthroned as Archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the 85 million-strong Anglican communion.

The ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral, attended by Prince Charles and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, was scheduled to include prayers to remember Thomas Cranmer, one of Welby’s predecessors as archbishop, who was burned at the stake 457 years ago today.
