From the Times:
Today’s meeting should be the occasion for a tougher tone. The Vatican has driven a wedge into the Anglican Communion. The Pope’s decision has undermined Dr Williams’s authority. Dr Williams has made valiant attempts to keep Anglicans united, partly for the sake of relations with Rome. He should recognise when effort is unavailing. There is every good reason, in theology and natural justice, for the Church to embrace the ministry of women and homosexuals. Anglicanism will be richer for it. Dr Williams will be a bigger man for espousing it unreservedly.
Re the last sentence in your quote; When has the ABC ever espoused anything unreservedly?
ReplyDeleteAnd I have a question about the author of this article. Where is the author's name on the link? I have looked high and low and can't see it.
Susan, hope springs eternal that the ABC will grow to be a bigger man.
ReplyDeleteThe article is probably an unsigned editorial by the newspaper.
The Times editorials are never signed.
ReplyDeleteI bet it wasn't our Ruthie, though!
