Wow, for the Archbishop of Canterbury to make that statement is rather remarkable for it is nothing less than a resounding repudiation of his own effectiveness as the spiritual leader of the world wide Anglican Communion.
But, while pleading for his fellow Church of England Anglo-Catholic's support, did Dr. Williams offer them anything to hold onto? Here's what he said: "God knows what the future holds for any of us for any of our ecclesiastical institutions but we can at least begin with what we can be sure of: that God has graced us with the lives of saints; that God has been credible in this fellowship with these people. This church, with its very particular place in the history of the Church of England, is one small but significant facet of that great mystery and that great gift. And, at times when the future seems more than usually chaotic and uncertain, it doesn’t hurt simply to give thanks.” Think that helped? Want to buy London bridge? Chaotic and uncertain is the understatement of year.God's peace. <><
