Rowan finally hits out and makes a stand

At last we find the ABC hitting out and making a stand - hallelujah.

Surely this is the moment so many of us have been waiting for and those naughty people without restraint are going to get a wigging from Rowan at last.

Drum roll, light go up and . . . sorry, it's the politicians that are getting it in the neck? Wouldn't you know it? He's managed to throw a double-six and ignore the election of Mary Wotsitpool and moved onto the Westminster square (just next to the get out of making any statement or provide leadership - 'home free' square!). By virtue of his magnificent brain and sterling guidance at the helm it's obvious that he knows what he's doing and therefore can surely proclaim that the government of this land is treating religious faith as an "eccentricity" practised by "oddities". Rowan Williams has told the Daily Telegraph that ministers were wrong to think 'it' was no longer relevant to society because, after all his sterling work, it is now irrelevant (in its CofE format at least) to many Christans too! 

But there's a shining light on the horizon - for moving into deeper spiritual things Rowan has also noted that this nation of ours needs a "supermarket ombudsman" to protect the interests of Britain's rural economy because, "We need more care in holding together the environmental and conservation agenda with food protection in some areas."
  
So Rowan, any chance of suggesting a "Church of England Ombudsman?" After all we need more care in holding together the Church of England and an agenda for conservation and protection of orthodoxy in some areas of the Anglican Communion." Don't we?
  
I must applaud his comments regarding the fact that so many government initiatives (and attitudes) appear to see faith issues as a problem area and portray faith as eccentricity practised by oddities, foreigners and minorities and that this 'de-normalises' faith.
  
Sounds like we need some believing clergy, some courageously responsive and supportive bishops and some sound and strong Biblical leadership from the top doesn't it?
