More about Rowan Williams, the new Archbishop of Canterbury

It's Sunday, so I'll talk about religion again.

In his blog, Nathan Lott makes some comparisons between Rowan Willliams and Pope John Paul II.

Thanks to Lynn GAzis-SAx for this article from The Tablet, which offers some pointers from for the future direction of Anclicanism. One quote caught my eye concerning Anglican-Methodist union "At present nothing really separates Anglicans and Methodists in England except inertia plus Anglican snobbery and Methodist sectarianism". Harsh, perhaps, but there's more than a grain of truth in that statement. Of course, it doesn't apply to all Anglicans or all Methodists.

However, in this Guardian article, Theo Hobbs is not so sure about him, and complains that Britain's Protestant heritage is being lost. Personally I blame Ian Paisley and his ilk for making Protestantism a dirty word.
