They're not making Archbishops like they used to.
It's the new PC church..although I think his sentiment is genuine
You can say that again!
And as for the millstones - he used that out of context. But we get the idea.
Just what I was thinking. Williams should know better.
I think you're right.
However,
I don't think much of Believers' faith which hasn't been through sufficient fiery furnaces to cause them to serously doubt.
God has delcared that He WILL HAVE a tried and tested people for The Bride for His only begotten Son.
John the Baptist even was sobered severely near the end.
Jesus Himself asked aloud on The Cross--why . . . and sweat drops of blood anticipating The Cross.
I think that perhaps a worse horror today than an Archbishop having such doubts is that masses of people coming out of masses of seminaries [cemetaries according to some wags], have faith of such shallow dimensions as to be tested to the breaking point by a Michael Moore movie. THAT'S PRETTY PATHETIC!
One more reason to be glad that I left the Episcopal Church.
You can say that again. The harsh reality of evil, of mass homicide, suffering, etc., is covered in the Bible. One wonders where this boy studied the faith.
