+Rowan’s support group
After months and months of my resisting every temptation to join Facebook, I have succumbed in a good cause. Thanks to Dave Walker for pointing me to this group: the Archbishop of Canterbury is a good man. As it says:
Joining the group affirms that you believe:
1) The media has misinterpreted the spirit of what Dr Williams was talking about in his lecture
2) As an intellectual, and a spiritual leader, Dr Williams should feel free to express a carefully considered opinion.
3) That Dr Williams is one of the most gifted minds in Britain, and his views should be given careful consideration.
It does not, you note, say you must agree with him. Unfortunately there are rather too many people claiming to be Christian who believe disagreeing with someone means vilifying them.
I am not so sure how much I shall use Facebook, but we shall see.
PS I have also joined Dave’s Anglican Bloggers group.
