This is the same Archbishop ( Rowan Williams ) who previously said:

“... certain provision[s] of sharia are already recognised in our society and under our law; ... we already have in this country a number of situations in which the internal law of religious communities is recognised by the law of the land as justified conscientious objections in certain circumstances in providing certain kinds of social relations” and that “we have Orthodox Jewish courts operating in this country legally and in a regulated way because there are modes of dispute resolution and customary provisions which apply there in the light of Talmud.

In some of the ways it has been codified and practised across the world, it has been appalling and applied to women in places like Saudi Arabia, it is grim.”

Two times this week - for the first times in my life - I hear the expression “jump the shark.”

The Anglicans have jumped the shark.

Long ago, but later than the Latins think (they'll date that to the original break with Rome) and longer ago than most, who fancy it was the embrace of homosexuality (not mere tolerance of, which would be bad enough) or the priesting of women, would suggest.

They jumped the shark when they couldn't condemn "Bishop" Pike for heresy when he denied the Trinity, deciding instead that "heresy is no longer a relevant category" (which in theological matters is equivalent to deciding that truth is no longer a relevant category). Yeah, that was the U.S. bunch, PECUSA, but the Lambeth Conference didn't slap them down, as they should have, if Anglicanism still stood for (even a solid approximation of) the Faith once delivered to the Saints.

The Oxford Movement seems to have been God's last attempt to recall Anglicanism from a slide into apostacy. Now most of the Oxford Movement's spiritual descendants are either Orthodox or Latin. So, be not downcast, you can still check the web for times and hear a good sung Evensong and not have to deal with rank apostacy by turning up at an Anglican Ordinariate parish or most Antiochian Western-Rite parishes.

This guy is undoubtedly trying to take all the credit for the "Occupy....." rapes and murders away from Elizabeth Warren ~

I doubt it would be possible to be more willfully ignorant.
