Children’s lives are being blighted by “obsessive” testing, relentless advertising and a long-hours culture that contributes to family breakdown, the Archbishop of Canterbury says in a report published today.
In a scathing attack on a society that he says is organised around the needs and desires of adults, Dr Rowan Williams argues that people must change their ways if Britain is to become a better place for children to grow up in.
He also makes an impassioned plea for marriage to be encouraged and valued, not least to set an example to young people about commitment.
“In plain terms, it will not serve us as a society, and it will not serve the growing generation, if we simply regard marriage as just one option in the marketplace of lifestyles,” he says.

Yep, a good description of a society devoted to substituting “gay marriage” for a family.
William Sulik, someone once said that, “homosexual unions can be equivalent to Christian marriage.” Oh, that was Rowan, himself.
Can bitter water and sweet flow from the same fountain? Depends on who Rowan Williams is speaking to at any particular moment!
