Legal technicalities aside, it appears that the Archbishop is pandering again. He would not support the consecration of Gene Robinson in New Hampshire for fear of upsetting reactionary clergy in Africa. He is now risking the rights of Moslem women in Great Britain, obfuscating with a veil of legalisms. The main point is that where it comes to confronting prejudice and supporting civil rights, the developed world is leaving the Anglican Church and its befuddled, pandering "leader" behind.
