Rowan

Church of England Archbishop Rowan Williams announced his resignation from that role as of the close of this year.

An atheist of Jewish heritage said, "He has done a very, very difficult job and seen the church through difficult times in a very skillful way. But most of all has shown himself to be someone of the deepest conviction and the deepest values and all my good wishes go with him."

A fellow Anglican Archbishop wrote, 'Rowan Williams took over the leadership of the Anglican Communion in 2002 when it was a happy family. Unfortunately, he is leaving behind a Communion in tatters: highly polarized, bitterly factionalized . . .'

Rowan Williams is a very reflective and prayerful man with a great mind.  But I doubt he can make any sense of those reactions on the public record.

Let us ask with Paul (Romans 14)

Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”  So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer,

As a Football Chaplain it is amazing to see how football can publicly unite in support of its own, but the Church cannot.  Amazing, and frankly embarrassing to its Saviour and Head.
