The Reuters website reports today (September 12, 2011) that Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams -- the spiritual head of the Anglican Communion -- will resign his position next year, in order to return to academic life.
Williams, 61, may take up a senior post at Cambridge University.
Williams -- who conducted the marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in London last April -- taught theology at Cambridge and Oxford universities ahead of a church career that saw him become Archbishop of Canterbury in 2002.
The normal retirement age for Church of England bishops is 70.
