As an aside, what is the correct spelling of the word anyway? J-E-W-E-L-R-Y ? or jewellery ?

Moslems aren't required to wear scarfs as a religious matter ~ that's strictly cultural ~ secular if you will.
In much of East Africa Copts have a cross tattooed between the eyes so they won't forget who they are.
Once more the English authorities imagine the world revolves on their dime.

Archbishop is right. When taking religion completely out of the arguement, the archbishop wins. If I were a non-muslim getting a photo I.D. and tried to cover my hair/face with a headscarf, I would be asked to remove it. On the other hand, if I was wearing a modest necklace, would I be asked to remove it? I don’t think so.

When you take religion completely out of the argument, what is an ‘archbishop’?

"The London Telegraph has revealed ministers will argue that because it is not a "requirement" of the Christian faith"
What would these people know about what is and isn't a "requirement" of the Christian faith? My bible instructs me to follow my conscience and if an individual's conscience require them to wear a cross in order to remember to keep God's precepts in all their thoughts and actions then it is a requirement.

Instead of bombing Iran, we should bomb London for trying to destroy Western Civilization. I guess we don’t need to,though. Having there crappy country destroyed will be punishment enough.

RE: Requirement
What about the FREEDOM to wear what one wants within the bounds of societal decency?
It isn’t a requirement that I wear Green on a day that isn’t Saint Patrick’s Day... what then? I should be fired if I do?

In a surprise move Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, added fuel to the fire when he said the cross for many Christians is little more than jewellery This, from the same guy who submits to the idea that shariah law in Britain is "inevitable."
Sounds like a case of making nice to the future overlords. Well... your new masters will still want you dead, Mr. Williams.

Excellent, excellent point! Wouldn’t an archbishop also NOT be necessary to be a Christian? Wouldn’t he just be “jewelry” to a church?

Williams is certainly no true successor to the apostles: he is (as you say!) a piece of increasingly meaningless jewelry wrapped tightly around the neck of a Potemkin church.

Would it be a sin (spiritual or temporal) to tattoo a cross to your cheek?

Archbishop of Canterbury, added fuel to the fire when he said the cross for many Christians is little more than [ jewelry ], which religious people make and hang on to as a substitute for true faith.
This man needs a seminary revisit at the very least; a reading of Roman Catholic Dogma should be a necessity as well.
But then, the Vatican NewChurch accepted his return to the flock without the condition of the Holy Sacraments of Penance and Baptism.
God save us from the blasphemy and heresy now commonplace in the halls of the Vatican, and its' leaderhip ranks throughout the world. Heavenly Father, save the faithful from the 'ordained' evil.
