You asked "Shoult not the queen step in and do something? She is head of the english church."
well yes and no. Technically she's the head, but the problem is that for the last two centuries the British Royals have had a largely 'hands off' policy in trying to correct problems in the C of E. Moreover this current abortive mistranslation is really only the symptom of a larger disease - if HM were going to do something effective she'd have to start at the top and remove Rowan the fuzzy as ABC. However to even attempt to do that would cause *major* problems in the political and social structures that make up the modern day UK. About the only way she'll be able to get away with it is if Rowan & co do not find a way to hold the Anglican Communion together; and even then what will probably happen will be Rowan goes into an early retirement.
Constitutional monarchies are a pain, especially for the monarchs.
Who will rid me of this meddlesome Priest?
Thomas, Thomas, Thomas. Everyone TALKS about Thomas, but no one ever DOES anything about him!
I am glad that despite what is happening to the Anglican Communion, you have managed to retain a sense of humor.
After much consideration, I walked out of the EC 15 years ago. Even though I could dredge up a lot of vitriol from the past, I can only look at the situation with a certain detachment. I do hope that things work out well for the AC and its members and you.
