See, it’s nonsense like this that shows why there should be no state churches, archbishops, dioceses, or any of that other hierarchical junk. The Bible only speaks of local churches, and that’s all that Christianity should have - local New Testament churches with their pastors and deacons. Anything in addition to that - archbishops, dioceses, popes, and all the other trappings of apostasy - just end up creating the legalistic headaches like this that can’t be dealt with by simply disciplining the incorrigible out of the local membership. And with the local church model instituted by Christ and the apostles, if one church goes bad, then it doesn’t affect all the others.
They've been terrible since Dick Hauser died.
The Archbishop of Canterbury soon to be morphing into the Ayatollah of Canterbury.
Three cheers for the see of Rochester! St. John Fisher was Bishop Nazir-Ali’s noble and martyred predecessor...
Ann Coulter was a number of centuries too late.
Full Disclosure: Hillaire Belloc has written a very good book on the military strategy of the Crusades...

Isn’t it the calling of a Christian leader to spread the Gospel to those who do not know the way?

Really ? it’s already rolling in . Don’t be an ostrich.
“Brave Sir Rowan ran away, bravely ran away, away...”
The Archpinhead is so out of touch with reality,he doesn’t even know that grooming and haircuts are commercially available.
He can always officially convert and become a mullah.
The only faith he has is in his own infallibility. He has no faith in god because his bloated ego cannot accept the idea of a being greater than himself.
I hear there’s a barber over on Fleet Street that’ll be happy to give him a shave...
and how long will the Queen take this bishop’s embarrassing statements and mis-deeds??? will she step up for good ol England and remove him???
Don’t be an ostrich. What’s that article got to do with sharia law? Ontario and Quebec legislators have already dealt with sharia law and it was a non starter . Sharia Law in Texas is a better link . You’ll also find it in NJ and Minnesota.

I'll buy but I'm bringing my own lunch
O.K., so you’re saying it’s already more advanced than I thought? Sorry. Are (all/some ) Moslems leaving their homelands to escape it, or are they trying to establish it here?
