Traditional Anglicanism in America

Rowan Williams: US is ‘worst’ imperialist



Here is a man who can’t seem to understand the plain meaning of Scripture on the morals of homosexual behavior; who rubs elbows with terrorists; and then has the gall to say things like this:

THE Archbishop of Canterbury has said that the United States wields its power in a way that is worse than Britain during its imperial heyday.

Rowan Williams claimed that America’s attempt to intervene overseas by “clearing the decks” with a “quick burst of violent action” had led to “the worst of all worlds”.

In a wide-ranging interview with a British Muslim magazine, the Anglican leader linked criticism of the United States to one of his most pessimistic declarations about the state of western civilisation.

He said the crisis was caused not just by America’s actions but also by its misguided sense of its own mission. He poured scorn on the “chosen nation myth of America, meaning that what happens in America is very much at the heart of God’s purpose for humanity”.

When it comes to U.S. foreign and economic policy, Rowan Williams’ is simply not a voice that’s listened to. But, he has before him a prime opportunity to strike a blow against one kind of American “imperialism”: He can tell the Episcopal Church that his church’s integrity on the matter of gay blessings and gay ordinations can’t be bought with American money. He could put his money where his mouth is. He could lead by example.

But he won’t, because he is a spineless, hypocritical, amoral buffoon. The sooner this church is rid of his “leadership,” the better.
