What was the man thinking. He is said to be "upset" and clearly had no idea of the impact he could have when giving this speech. I tend to agree with comments from some in and around the synod who say that he is best locked away in a university where he thoughts and musings can be kicked around and discussed without it being front page news.
He is head of the church. His words are listened to especially on such a controversial issue.
In any event the answer from the Gov, the Tories, the media, infact everyone, has been unequivecal- NO you are wrong on this.
Religious conscience should not have a place in state law. It is a recipe for disaster. Go and read the God Delusion and see what madness this all is.
Anyway I would not stop anyone wanting to adhere to a faith but that should not affect the rule of law or even be given particular consideration when contact between the two takes place.
Dr Williams may be clever, but the speech (and timing) was dumb. He should get on with representing and promoting the Church of which he is head or go and be a scholar.
