Seen in the Times, a summary of a recent Muslim magazine interview with +Rowan, which apparently covered several topics:
[Archbishop Rowan Williams] 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”.
Williams suggested American leadership had broken down: “We have only one global hegemonic power. It is not accumulating territory: it is trying to accumulate influence and control. That’s not working.”[...]
Given the schism that seems to be almost underway within the Episcopal Church USA…and the Anglican Communion as a whole, to a certain extent… it’s interesting seeing the Archbishop not mincing words.
