- The Archbishop of Canterbury, 1991-2002. He succeeded Robert Runcie.
- In March 2004 caused some controversy when he made a speech urging Islamic scholars in the UK to be more vocal in their condemnation of acts of terrorism like 9/11. His successor as Archbishop of Canterbury, 'Dr Rowan Williams', said he agreed with Carey's words.
- If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery perhaps Christians should not worry too much at such an exploitation of religious imagery. I doubt that Bowie [David Bowie] would have the courage to use Islamic imagery - I very much doubt it. Frankly, I don't get offended by such juvenilia - Christians should have the courage to rise above offensive language, although I hope Bowie will recognise that he may be upsetting some people.
