[MD] The Archbishop and Sharia Law

[ian glendinning]

Not noticed anyone mention this subject yet ?
Maybe it didn't cross the Atlantic well ?

What's interesting here ... an interview "after the event" that caused
the debate ... is that even when the journalist asks the question
about tolerance of freedoms to practice "faith" .... the archbishop
still continues his "social custom" line - religions are just
different social instritutions.

I've said before that Rowan Williams speaks a lot of sense - painfully
honest intellectually not to misrepresent theistic faith, god 'n'all
that. Here he is continuously seeking middle-ground as usual.

Anyway the point is the archbishop is under no dobt that faith is at
the social level not the intellectual.
