Archbishop Rowan Williams' Final Presidential Address to the ACC

Admitting that the Instruments of Communion are ”˜less than they might be’ Archbishop Williams said examples of their desire to enable included such proactive projects as the Anglican Alliance, the Bible in the Life of the Church Project, Continuing Indaba, and promoting theological education. These were, he said, attempts by the Instruments to try and change a situation by being creative.

Archbishop Williams also suggested that younger Anglicans seemed more interested in one kind of authority over another.

“If you pick up and read the book by the young Anglican leaders who were present at the mission consultation in Edinburgh two years ago, you will see something of how a younger generation sees these questions,” he said. “I believe that for the authors of that book and those whom they represent, the vision of not only Anglican, but Christian structural fellowship has a great deal more to do with enabling authority than with absolute clarity about corrective authority.”

    Reading through this speech, I cannot work out what ++Williams wants. He clearly wants something to change, but no idea what it is.

    How very Rowan.

    I just don’t read his speeches anymore. He has betrayed Christ and His church. He writes nothing that I want to read.

    May God have mercy on us.
