#11  He's got Mephistopheles' eyebrows and he dresses up like a druid, and he wonders why he's considered an oddball?

#10  Apologies to our Anglican members

No problem, Mr. Radical. Many of us feel the same way.

Summing up the archbishop and most of his hierarchy (plus much of the US hierarchy) can be done in one word.

Heresy.

#7  The Archbishop also called the Pope's invitation to Anglicans “theologically rather eccentric.” The irony...

Does he know that The Mother Church sees reunification with the splinter groups as an important calling?

#6  Dear Archbishop Williams,

While the Labour party regards itself as at the forefront of social recognition for such diverse and new religious movements such as the Jedi Knights, there are few in our party willing to fully embrace your proposed belief system based on sacrificing automobiles to your "Robot High Lord Voltron."

And while you might find personal gratification on your most sacred of hold days, Fnord Day, or June 23rd on the secular calendar, there is little support for a national holiday compelling all citizens to "Don lederhosen and scuba flippers, and rub honey and chicken feathers o'er each other to tuba serenade."

And I would personally like to add that while blending elements of your Druidic faith with Anglicanism is taken with some grace by Labour, your proposal of offertories of human flesh as burnt sacrifice is generally seen as outside of your duties as Archbishop of Canterbury.

Therefore, on behalf of Her Majesty's Government, we would officially request that you cease and desist with the practice altogether and immediately. As well as that thing with the goats.

Yours in CHRIST, if not "whosoever this week",

Gordon Brown, P.M.

#5  Gee, I didn't think Labour was that smart. Well, guess this falls into the blind squirrel category.

#3  Apologies to our Anglican members, but this man does not seem to get it. He personifies the tepid new-age mush-headed weakness of the High Church, and then wonders why Muslims get more attention?

The Archbishop also called the Pope's invitation to Anglicans “theologically rather eccentric.” The irony...
