Archbishop of Canterbury's Speech in Rome Shows Genetic Code of Anglicanism

Opinionated Catholic (Free subscription) | 6 hours ago

I guess I will comment more in detail in the speech that the Archbishop of Canterbury gave at the Gregorian Pontifical University . It is a rather long speech and is worth some detailed looks. I think Father at Standing On My Head has a good post that sort of gets to the core it thought. See Cracks in the Foundation . He says in part: The Archbishop defended women's ordination and argued that more...

Archbishop of Anglicanism at Woolworths

Pluralist Speaks (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009

Archbishop of Anglicanism's address at an unused and available ex-Woolworths Store in Rome on Friday 20 November 2009 It is not lacking in pleasure that I am hearing to speak on anything but the situation in Uganda, for which I have lost my considerable probable erudite tongue, so may I suggest that I retail a tale of the Incarnation and going shopping as a matter of not inconsiderable interest to...

Gender progress happened more quickly in the Church of England than you might think. The big battle was lost over 20 years ago, when Graham Leonard the Bishop of London lost the vote and the argument over Christ's will and left for Rome soon afterwards. For the Irish, the battle lines can be confusing. At the height of the row, I remember Dr Leonard telling me his favourite church in Ireland was Derry...

Archbishop protests at Catholic church's shock invitation to Anglicans during visit to Rome The archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, took the highly unusual step yesterday of protesting personally to the pope about his shock announcement last month of special arrangements for the mass conversion to Catholicism of disillusioned, traditionalist Anglicans. A spokeswoman for Lambeth Palace said...

Joan Smith: Modernity – an end to male-run faiths and 'honour' crimes

The Independent (Free subscription) | 4 hours ago

When demonstrators gathered in London yesterday to protest against sharia, the Archbishop of Canterbury was otherwise engaged with the Pope. It's almost two years since Rowan Williams caused an outcry when he suggested that recognising aspects of sharia would help social cohesion, and, every day, evidence accumulates to show how wrong he was. Women, girls and young men desperately need protection...

More on the Archbishop's Speech

Standing on My Head (Free subscription) | 2 hours ago

Now having had the chance to read the whole of the Archbishop of Canterbury's speech in Rome last week I am even more flummoxed. As far as I can make out the whole speech can be paraphrased thus: 1. The ARCIC talks have worked. We've made a lot of progress and we agree on all the basics. 2. We agree on the creed and the main points of the Christian faith. 3. Women's ordination really isn't such a big...

Archbishop Cranmer (Free subscription) | yesterday

Cranmer never thought he would write that, but credit where it’s due. The Archbishop of Canterbury appears to have (re-)discovered a (slight) Protestant streak, even if his rebuke to Pope Benedict was cushioned with ecumenical pleasantries, concealed by conciliatory overtures and couched in some of his trademark dense theological verbiage. His speech/lecture/sermon/six theses , that he nailed...

VirtueOnline (Free subscription) | yesterday

Rowan's Roman Bluff by John Richardson http://ugleyvicar.blogspot.com/ November 21, 2009 For a man hardly renowned for his robustness, the recent speech given in Rome by the Archbishop of Canterbury was remarkably robust. Of course, it was given partly in response to the announcement from Rome on October 20th of effectively a 'safe haven' for Anglicans disenchanted by the policies of the Church over...
