Dr. Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury, will visit Israel next month, it was reliably reported in Church of England circles today. His status in the Anglican Church is equivalent to that of the Pope in the Roman Catholic faith.
Dr. Ramsey, one of the presidents of the British Council of Christians and Jews, will visit the old City of Jerusalem on April 20, to preside at a five-day conference of Anglican Metropolitans from all parts of the world. According to the reports, he will visit Nazareth and Capernaeum in Israel, after the conference. Whether he will meet any members of the Israel Government has not yet been decided. This will depend on the wishes of both the Government and the Archbishop, it was indicated.
