[Dialogue] Gad, another priest with some balls that don't clank in the da...

[Paul]

Rowan has spoken and written about these ideas for a number of years. Nothing new, he would say. I have no data to support the idea of him doing the equivalent of 'selling children'. I suspect that he prefers to see himself as a theologian and an academic than sit on the seat of Canterbury, where his job is to represent the stated consensus, which he fundamentally disagrees with, as I hear from Anglican priests near him.

Williams also laments spiralling military expenditure, writing that "the adventure in Iraq and its cost in any number of ways seems to beggar the imagination".
