If I recall, Canterbury did a lot of oppression and persecution on the English people which explains why many fled to America in the 16th to 18th century. Many of them were non-Anglican. People talk about slave reparations and by that thinking, whites should sue Canterbury for what they did to their ancestors. Slave reparations has already been done in the form of Liberia and Sierra Leone because many former slaves wanted to go back to Africa. America is not the worst imperialist when compared to other nations. China and Japan come to mind and they were outright imperialists and did that many times in history.
In all honesty people (especially people in the Anglican church) should do some research on where the church came from and why. Then they will know why anybody who has looked it up does not really care what the Archbishop of Canterbury says.
All I have to say about it is, wow, it is good to be king.
No, the worst of all worlds would be allowing nuclear proliferation throughout the Muslim world. ...a state of affairs that would one day assuredly lead to the incineration of everything this naive fool of an archbishop holds dear.
The U.S. is trying to prevent that from happening, so he'd be wise to just shut his piehole and be appreciative. ...privately, if he's shy about it.
certainly most great regional and continental powers throughout world history were during their respective expansionist period. from the Assyrians to the Zulus and everyone in between, including The USA.
