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...

A spokeswoman for Lambeth Palace said...

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...

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...

John Richardson of The Ugley Vicar has posted an outstanding analysis of ++Rowan's Williebrands address in Rome. He has entitled it Rowan's Roman Bluff . I encourage you to read it. In the comments below his essay I take issue with one aspect of the argument John Richardson mounts.

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...

Pope Benedict XVI and his Anglican counterpart, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, had "cordial discussions" Saturday, the Vatican said amid tensions between the two churches. The strictly private meeting came just two weeks after the Vatican made it easier for disgruntled Anglicans to convert to Catholicism, a move that caught Williams off-guard, saying he had been informed of it...

Here below, the joint release on the...
