The impact of abuse within clergy marriages

At the Lambeth Conference Bishops and Archbishops with their spouses will discuss the impact of abuse within clergy marriages and the world-wide Anglican church. Joining Jenni from the conference is Dr. Jane Williams, wife of the Archbishop of Canterbury and Dr. Maria Akrofi, wife of the Archbishop of West Africa. They will also be discussing the impact the divisions over the ordination of gay clergy are having on women's roles in the church, as well as the changing role of the Bishop's wife.
