Rowan Williams was known to be pro-gay at the time he was appointed archbishop. Tony Blair has a record of supporting gay rights, notably his insistence of forcing a bill lowering the age of consent for gay sex with minors through parliament. So presumably Blair recommended Williams to the Queen for that reason.
Since the Anglican Communion began to openly split, Williams has been cautious about publicly asserting his pro-gay beliefs. But it’s clear what he thinks.
I find it amusing the the Anglican homosexuals are bitching about this secret meeting because they think he should be doing it openly.
I hadn't heard about that....thanks very much for posting.
