So,
The Archbishop of Canterbury going to his flock totally unprotected by his only self? Even in slums?
Oy, he doesn’t meet the ‘ordinary people’, he’s too high and mighty.
As Catholics we are fortunate in having the lesson from the New Testament where Jesus awards the “nice guy” the role of looking after His mother (and being rewarded with the only natural death among the apostles), while the apostle who draws a sword and severs the servant’s ear in the garden became the first Pope of the Church (and insisted on not being crucified in the same manner as Jesus because he was unfit, so he was crucified upside down).
Adding animism to your other heresies, eh what? Small wonder the C of E continues to shrink into nothingness.

Yep, millions of Americans have been waiting for word from the Archbishop of Canterbury. Perhaps Monty Python can give the archbishop something worthwhile to do and sell him a dead parrot to take care of.
Gun control has worked so well for England.
How much did the crime rate go up when they banned guns?
An apostate church in its death throes embraces the devil in a frantic bid for one more breath.
Jesus returns and then we beat our swords into plow shears.
The ‘archbishop’ is more interested in receiving his £67,790-a-year and living in a riverside palace. His other perks include a generous expense allowance and a final salary pension plus a chauffeur driven car.
His income is probably tax free.
He steps down in a few weeks and another takes over for the next ten years. Hopefully the new one, who spent much of his life as an executive in the industrial world, will steer the Church back to being a church of Christ rather than today’s church which is not just in the world, but of the world.
Haven’t heard from the arch-shaman in quite a while, and here he is shaking his feathers and rattling his gourds at the American NRA. Since people in the UK pay even less heed to his fossil church than Americans do, he has to do what he can to let them know he still exists. Personally, I think the British tolerate him only for his occasional ceremonial duties and the tourist value of the CoE’s splendid old building.
Also, a fact worth remembering. Just before we entered WWII the Brits were worried about the Germans invading. There weren't enough firearms in the country to arm the home guard. Something about gun control.
They asked for some help from us colonials. FDR couldn't or wouldn't give them small arms, so the people of the US were asked to give up some of their arms for the Brits.
A lot were volunteered by our people which were never returned but confiscated and destroyed by the Brit gov because guns in the hands of the people was bad.
I may not be completely correct as to the facts but it was something like this.
Hint #1 for the Archbishop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War The United States of America is no longer subject to British Authority, and Canterbury is still British.
Hint #2 for the Archbishop: http://secondamendmenttaskforce.com/ The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land in the United States, and “shall not be infringed” is unambiguous, despite the claims of petty tyrant wannabes.
Hint #3 for the Archbishop: http://bible.cc/luke/22-36.htm “Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.” Jesus approved of weapons. But: “They said, ‘Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.’” Jesus also advocated that we choose moderation in arming ourselves.
Neither the government nor the church has the right or the authority to disarm us, although we should not allow weapons to crowd everything else out of our lives. Considering the recent disgusting actions of our ruling class, the days when weapons may be needed to protect religious liberty against enemies in power are much closer than I ever imagined.
Politely, the apostate Archbishop of a failed and corrupt “church” needs to mind his own business, assuming he has any.
More and more, homos are going to go after churches violently.
Just as the church advocated for socialized medicine and then got burned by the government as liberals demanded they pay for employee abortion and birth control; they will get burned when they are disarmed by the government and can not defend their churches and people from the Sodom mobs.
Social justice is mandated sin, death and poverty.
Now, Dr. Williams, please don't take this the wrong way, but why not take your pity party down the hall and bother someone who cares. You know, do it for the children. Lord, what a moron!
Dear America,
Dont be too hard on this bumbling old fart.
Nobody here in the UK takes him seriously. In fact, he is a bit of a joke.
