#1 Idiot!
The means of war is to make Peace Preferable.
You can't make omelets without breaking egg shell.

#3 And who are YOU, again?

You are in charge of the spirit of war? Some apperation of law you believe?

You have the moral right to judge even before action?

Someone needs to get this church under control.

#6 Perhaps the military ought to consult him before they do anything.

"Every child deserves to grow up in a home that is safe; every child deserves to grow up in a home where there are people around who can be trusted; every child deserves to grow up in a place where they can see a future that is peaceful for them," he said.

Except for mine?

#7 That's funny, I don't recall the Archbishop ever speaking out against Iran as representing a threat. The explanation lies in civilizational blindness. Somehow these dupes continue to believe that Western intervention in the Middle East prevents that part of the world from being a font of peace and tranquility.

#9 The Anglican communion is on the verge of a breakup. The presenting issue is the US church's aggressive insistence on ordaining homosexuals but more broadly what is at stake is orthodox Christianity vs. those who wish to hold the name of Church while swinging with the cultural breezes.

It is an understatement to say that ++Rowan has been less than a prophetic leader in these events. There might be a prophetic voice to be heard from the church on future conflicts. But his isn't it.

#12 Archbishop Rowan Atkinson is caught between a rock and a hard place. The only allies in Anglicanism that the British church has are the Episcopalians in the US, and the two of them together are only a fraction of the Anglican communion.

And now, with the split in the US, between the Episcopalians and the Anglicans, the Episcopalians are going to be reduced to little more than squishy liberal atheists, who, with nothing more they can do to destroy the Episcopalians, will leave to destroy some other church.

This will leave the British Anglicans high and dry. Especially because their leaders are chosen by the British government, who will continue to appoint leftists and communists to Bishop.

#13 It is a measure of how thoroughly the world has changed to see American Episcopal churches in the deep South renouncing the US hierarchy and having their bishops consecrated by the archbishop of the Nigerian Episcopal Church. The effete snobs that sit atop the church hierarchy in both the US and UK are going to find themselves in charge of empty buildings as their former flock seeks a church that teaches Christianity instead of political correctness and liberal psychobabble.

#14 Actually, in the US there is some really nasty maneuvering coming out of the Episcopal national headquarters to ensure they get all the property and endowment funds -- and that traditional priests and bishops lose their pensions.
