Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams said today that his successor was going to have to map the Biblical vision of humanity and community onto the worst situations in society.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the final media conference after the end of the Anglican Consultative Council in New Zealand, Archbishop Williams said the issues discussed at the meeting–including environmental change and ending domestic violence–were “actually questions about what kind of humanity we’re seeking to promote and serve, which is a deeply Christian question.”<\/p>\n
He said he thought that when people were probing the church on certain issues, they were actually asking how the church could help them \u201cbe really human\u201d\u009d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe as a church we have unparalleled resources for enriching humanity that way.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
