#1 Nobody expects Anglican ministers to be connected either to God or to reality

I've know quite a few that were grounded in both. They chose not to involve themselves in the preenings and rantings of the upper Church hierarchy.

#2 The Archbishop of Canterbury

Connected or not, they make great chocolates.

#3 This Archbishops is a major improvement on Rowen Williams who was Archbishop for 10 years until the last day of 2012.

Williams was dogged in his pursuit of ways to excuse islamic terror and oppression, creative in finding ways to ignore it when it couldn't be excused and stubborn in defending both his excusemaking and his ignorance.

#4 . Treat other as you want to be treated.

2. Do unto others as you want to be treated.

3. If you massacre others, expect to be massacred.
In short , you stink at equal rights

Everything for you, nothing for others.
And ha's why you never get equality, you never give it to others.

#5 I have been raised in the Episcopalian faith which is pretty darn close to Anglican and it always amazes me how far left these two denomination's outspoken leaders seem to be and and how "right" I am anyway.

#6 "The Archbishop of Canterbury on Wednesday called for Pakistain to safeguard the rights of its religious minorities and afford them equal treatment under the law."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Good one, Arch!

Oh, wait - you were serious?

GFL on that one.

#7 Okay, I agree that this Archbishop of Canterbury is a vast improvement over that Rowen guy, who was really keen on preemptively surrendering to whoever would take the keys to the building. And the new guy is speaking truth to power, with real consequences for his people, if not for him. But Barbara summed up my feeling about the entire thing, I'm afraid.

This concerns me, as apparently cynicism is a strong risk factor for Alzheimers.

Dear warthogswife, a number of Episcopalian churches have submitted themselves to the much more conservative African bishoprics. So you aren't alone.
