A Portrait of Dr. Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury.
Every ten years or so some 500 bishops of the Anglican Communion converge on Lambeth Palace to consider together the problems that beset their faith. The chairman of the conference is Dr. Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury.
Tonight's programme was filmed at Lambeth, in France on one of his many visits abroad, and at Canterbury where in his other palace the archbishop spends his weekends away from the hurly-burly of Lambeth.
