Patron

The Most Rev. Rowan Williams

Archbishop of Canterbury

“I am very, very proud to be associated with Five Talents as Patron because I think its moment has come, in a sense, worldwide. It is something that the church can offer with confidence and gratitude to the societies in which it works. And, I am deeply grateful to God for all that He has done through Five Talents in the last decade to advance that particular form of the Christian Gospel and the Christian good news that simply enables people to stand on their feet and say, ‘I have something to receive and to give. I am capable of responsibility. I can stand before God with the confidence of being an adult trusted, not only by God, but by others, winning the trust of the community around me, so beginning to transfigure what is possible for people here.’”
