When Rowan Williams, the sharia-supporting Archbishop of Canterbury, spoke out in defence of Karl Marx this week it was tempting to shrug one’s shoulders and file it under “Well, what did you expect'”. But when the normally sensible John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, joined in the attack on modern capitalism, it is time to sit up and take notice. Bishop Sentamu condemned traders who cashed in on falling...

Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury: he even looks like Marx. The current crisis is having all sorts of interesting consequences, one of which is the two leading Anglican clergymen (Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury and John Sentamu, Archbishop of York) are now echoing Marx, with special reference to the classic Marxist idea of reification (the process whereby humanly [...]

Dr. John Sentamu is the Anglican Archbishop of York. He said this recently on the recent economic crisis and subsequent bank bailout plan: "To a bystander like me, those who made £190million deliberately underselling the shares of HBOS, in spite of its very strong capital base, and drove it into the bosom of Lloyds TSB Bank, are clearly bank robbers and asset strippers..." "Tomorrow morning I will...

Could this be the most ill conceived intervention in recent history? No, not the bloody bailout plan, the preposterous statements of John Sentamu, archbishop of York, echoed by the archbishop of Canterbury: "To a bystander like me, those who made £190million deliberately underselling the shares of HBOS, in spite of its very strong capital base, and drove it into the bosom of Lloyds TSB Bank, are clearly...

Hoodies are misunderstood while traders in their pin-striped suits are "bank robbers". This is the rather unlikely, and admittedly simplified, view of the Archbishop of York. His call for people not to judge teenagers by what they wear came at a time when they had few friends. It was a few months before David Cameron followed John Sentamu's line later in 2006 with his "hug a hoodie" speech. The Archbishop's...
