Isn’t this the same guy who said more or less that belief in the Resurrection is unnecessary?
If Jesus wasn’t willing to support the Jewish Zealot movement of his time he certainly wouldn’t support the OWS movement.
Matthew 6:33
New King James Version (NKJV)
33” But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things (food and clothing) shall be added to you.”
This Jesus?
It hurts to talk bad about Anglicans because my favorite Catholic was one: G.K. Chesterton and C.S. Lewis who remained one, wasn’t too bad either. As a matter of fact his “Mere Christianity” once properly rediscovered is what’s gonna help the Brits come back to their senses.
But today’s variety... bah!
Jesus is with everyone who sincerely opens his heart to Him. He loves us... and I don’t know why, and it oftentimes pisses me off, but even just thinking about Him in a sort of never-never nebula-land of atheism, agnosticism, superstition, indifference - I mean just occasionally peeking through the keyhole almost like a voyeur, on the sacred, already begins to WORK WONDERS. Sneak a peek and if you’re ready it’ll rock your world! (Amen)
Do the Brits have any sense of shame left? Why is this guy still the head of the Anglican church?
All the Archbishop needs to do for the best clue as to what Jesus would do is to look at scripture and see what He actually said - the Archbishop does not need to make wild guesses.

It’s quite simple and it does not involve forced wealth redistribution in the name of social justice.
Scripture does make it clear that we are to give alms, and perform the corporal works of mercy - see Matthew 25 in particular. Individual giving is required, but as mandated by conscience, not by government - Render onto Ceaser, etc.
Some of the progressives in the Catholic Church have unfortunately lost sight of this concept, too, and since the 60’s have mistakenly jumped onto the liberation theology/marxist socialism Catholic Worker bandwagon.
