(Telegraph) Archbishop of Canterbury defends record in office

In one of his last major public lectures before he steps down later this year, Dr Rowan Williams said he had “regrets” but insisted it was his job to speak out on important issues.

He added that when examining the divisions in the Church today, there was no point looking for a “golden age” which never existed.

In a wide-ranging lecture to the Theos thinktank in London he spoke about his views on the dignity of human beings, touching on subjects from abortion, disability rights and the economy.

    I just wish he had spoken out on important matters within the Communion, instead of turning a blind eye to apostate action of certain parties. Instead of tending to those things that were his business, he stuck his nose in various outside-the-church issues.
    In my opinion he has made himself look the fool.

    Ergo the moniker “Rowan the Lost.”

    I must have missed his “speaking out.” All I remember is the almost nonstop Caspar Milquetoast routine.

    Exactly!
