VATICAN CITY: A month after offering a home in his church to disaffected Anglicans, Pope Benedict XVI assured the Archbishop of Canterbury that he is still committed to seeking a closer relationship between Catholics and Anglicans.

Archbishop Rowan Williams said he came away convinced there had been no 'dawn raid' on his church by Rome, telling Vatican Radio he wishes 'every blessing' for those who want to be Catholics.

Dr Williams and Pope Benedict met privately for 20 minutes on Saturday in what the Vatican called 'cordial discussions', as part of what has clearly been a difficult visit by the Anglican leader.
