Rowan Williams: Too Little, Too Late

Posted on by

So, the Archbishop- on the cusp of retirement- has decided to speak his mind.  One question that hasn’t been raised and that clearly should have been is – why did he wait so long?  What was he afraid of?  Or worse, why did he worry more about political repercussions than he did in speaking the truth?

The world is filled with people who don’t say or do the right thing until they are sure that there will be no personal consequences.  I find that just a tad cowardly.  Speak the truth come what may.  That’s the sort of people the world needs.
