Justin Portal Welby was born in London on 6 January,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] online, 1956 to Gavin Bernard Welby and his wife,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jane Gillian (nee Portal), his parents divorced and his mother later remarried becoming Lady Williams of Elvel. His father died in 1977.

He was educated at Eton and Trinity College Cambridge, spent 11 years as an oil executive and became group treasurer for FTSE 100 oil exploration group Enterprise Oil Plc prior to the biggest career decision of his life.
The archbishop's rise has been remarkably swift. He was a bishop for little over a year and the 57-year-old became a priest only in his mid-30s.

He brings experience of personal tragedy and of civil conflict in Africa to his new role leading 80 million Christians in more than 160 countries.
The father-of-five emerged as a late favourite for the Church of England's most senior post after enjoying positive media coverage, having started the contest as an outsider.
The new Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, turned his back on a successful career in the oil industry to train as an Anglican priest.
