| | Ithilien: In defence of Rowan Williams |
 | | At least Williams understands that the primary work of a bishop is to serve the unity of the Church and to be a faithful steward of Holy Tradition. | | | Williams says (rightly) that neither the Church of England, nor the Anglican Communion, nor the Christian Church as a whole today, nor the historic tradition of the Church supports the validity of same-sex (erotic) relationships. | | | Williams distinguishes implicitly between respect for gay people (which is a self-evident moral duty of the first importance) and approval of sexual relationships between members of the same sex (which he regards as something not yet supported by the consensus of the Church). |

| | BBC NEWS UK Canterbury choice - Rowan Williams |
| | In choosing the Most Reverend Rowan Williams as the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury, the Church of England may be in for a lively ride. | | | One observer says Dr Williams' address to the 1998 Lambeth Conference, the meeting staged each decade of all the worldwide Anglican church's bishops, "was seen as the most erudite, though the least understood". | | | Reverend Tutu said his Welsh colleague "towered head and shoulders" above all the other candidates, and had an incredible capacity to communicate, as well as a deep spirituality. |

| | Rowan Williams |
| | Williams has been described as ‘orthodox’, but it is well-known that his orthodoxy is not that of traditional Christianity. | | | One of the major reasons why the appointment of Dr Rowan Williams as Archbishop of Canterbury has been greeted with such enthusiasm by some is the conviction that here at last is a man to lead the Church of England who is also a genuine theologian. | | | Williams and the traditionalist may overlap, but they often do so for entirely different reasons – the traditionalist because Scripture or tradition tell him so, Williams because having considered Scripture, tradition and the other available evidence, it seems reasonable to him. |

| | When that form of nihilism is married to a distorted conception of monotheism, it yields a goal that I am sure Dr. Williams rejects on moral grounds (i.e., the coercive imposition of politicized Islam on a national and international scale) and a method—mass murder—that he rightly deplores. | | | Dr. Williams once jocularly referred to himself as a “hairy lefty,” and while his article here rises far above the standards of analysis and judgment typically found in religious activist circles, there are several points in his essay at which, I respectfully suggest, portside-tilting politics are getting the better of empirically informed theological analysis. | | | Williams’ reference to Aquinas’ discussion of just war in the Summa demonstrates this (even as it undermines his historically and theologically questionable claim that Aquinas, too, shares the presumption against war). |
