Archbishop
Cosmo Gordon Lang
Archbishop of Canterbury through the abdication crisis.
William Cosmo Gordon Lang, 1st Baron Lang of Lambeth, was a Scottish Anglican clergyman who served as Archbishop of York (1908 to 1928) and Archbishop of Canterbury (1928 to 1942). His elevation to Archbishop of York, within 18 years of his ordination, was the most rapid in modern Church of England history. As Archbishop of Canterbury during the abdication crisis of 1936, he took a strong moral stance, his comments in a subsequent broadcast being widely condemned as uncharitable towards the departed king.
