Rowan Williams, the current Archbishop of Canterbury, is planning to retire soon. In a statement, he has lamented that he (and by extension, the episcopate of the Anglican Communion) has
not exactly been on the forefront of pressing for civic equality for homosexual people and we were wrong about that.
Which sentiment does not seem to have been much of a problem for other Christian communities around the world. In typical liberal fashion however, he places blame not in his own failings and beliefs, but in the burden that administration places upon his office.
“I think the problem though, is that the demands of the communion, the administrative demands of the communion, have grown and are growing.”
Again, it appears that the demands placed upon the episcopate and administrative offices of much larger Christian communities has not proved to be overwhelming to those organizations.
Could it be that the Most Reverend Doctor Williams is not and has not been up to the demands of his office?
