I should preface this remark by saying, "With all due respect", but I can't be that disingenuous. Williams is surely no +Nicholas of Myra who slugged Arius at the Council of Nicea. He is no +Athanasius the Great or +John Chrysostomos who suffered exile and death for their Orthodoxy. He is no champion of Anglican Christianity like countless known and unknown hierarchs and preachers and missionaries and martyrs. What would a bishop like +JC Ryle think of this spineless character? This man is more than a heretic and more heretical than merely the ArchDruid; he's a clown, a pathetic clown worthy only of contempt from "orthodox" (let alone "Orthodox") Christians.
Don’t leave us in the dark, K. - tell us what you really think!
While I’m sure there have been faithful bishops in Anglicanism over the centuries, the honest question is: can we really be shocked at this, since their forefather were the all the bishops who cowtowed to Henry VIII? The only bishop who stood up to that scoundrel was St. John Fisher.
Well put. Williams is a bureaucrat who sucks up to the British elite on whom he is dependent for his job. Like most bureaucrats, his chief concern is to preserve organizational "structure" rather than doctrinal integrity. How characteristic that he is hiring a team of mediation consultants - just to show his masters in the British Labor Party that he is doing something.
