The gospel according to YouTube

With the $1bn Viacom lawsuit against YouTube overshadowing the usual, somewhat zany, coverage given to the videosharing website, normal service is (almost) resumed with news of the first joint appearance of the Archbishops of York and Canterbury (via the all-new Lambeth Palace channel). Some may consider it Anglicanism in the 2.0 era. Some may want to take that idea further.

The video - which has value beyond its novelty factor - is filmed in the former Zanzibar slave market, ahead of the 200th anniversary on March 25 of the passing of Wilberforce's bill to abolish the slave trade in the British empire.
