Church in the WorldNew archbishop will work with laityPoland Jonathan Luxmoore - 31 March 2007The new Archbishop of Warsaw has pledged to promote greater lay involvement in the Church, as well as working closely with the media and church movements, writes Jonathan Luxmoore. "I want to stay a floor lower than my predecessors and be a bishop for my faithful and my priests," said Archbishop Kazimierz Nycz. "A priest can't only proclaim - he must also listen and try to understand." The 57-year-old archbishop was speaking before his installation tomorrow in Warsaw's St Jan cathedral. He said he believed that church unity had not been permanently damaged by the early January resignation of his predecessor, Mgr Stanislaw Wielgus, after he admitted collaborating with Poland's former Communist secret police.
