Reuters carried excerpts of an interestingly frank interview with Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams recently. You can find the full story in The Scotsman here. In it, the Archbishop says, “The task I've got is to try and maintain as long as possible the space in which people can have constructive disagreements, learn from each other, and try and hold that within an agreed framework of discipline and practice.”
One of the obligations of anyone trying to define the boundaries for such dialogue would seem to be letting folks on either side know when they’re out of bounds. We wish the Archbishop well, though we wish that he had blown his whistle a little earlier, before some of the players had started to move the goal posts. It might have made his current situation a lot simpler.
