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.

Whoa there big pony. Let's take a step back a moment. This is an issue worth debate, investigation and thought - - not more tirade. Who out there knows more about this? This is something of note and we want to hear more, speaking for myself.
Anyone have more to add?

Believe me when I say, as an Anglican myself, that Rowan is decidedly NOT going to aid any revolution and would just as soon sell the young down the river to protect the current establishment. One thing he definitely does NOT have are balls.
I find it rather hilarious that they describe something written that will not be published for 6 months as "outspoken"!

In a message dated 6/23/2012 2:11:59 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, stevehar11201@gmail.com writes: The archbishop of Canterbury has denounced David Cameron's "big society", saying that it comes across as aspirational waffle that was "designed to conceal a deeply damaging withdrawal of the state from its responsibilities to the most vulnerable".
The outspoken attack on the prime minister's flagship policy by Rowan Williams – his strongest to date – is contained in a new book, Faith in the Public Square, that is being prepared for publication ahead of his retirement in December.
Passages from the book, obtained by the Observer, reflect the archbishop's deep frustration not just with the policies of Cameron's government and those of its Labour predecessors, but also with what he sees as the west's rampant materialism and unquestioning pursuit of economic growth. 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".
