...delicate task of keeping peace within the worldwide communion will fall to its spiritual leader, Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury. Though the Archbishop does not have the authority of a Pope, he is primus inter pares. Williams narrowly evaded a rift over a gay but celibate bishop on his home turf in July, when that bishop-appointee, after meeting with the Archbishop for six hours, declined the office, citing concerns about church unity...

As Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has rightly observed, any attempt to sustain truthful speech was lost as soon as the word war was used to describe the events of Sept. 11. What happened on that day was not war; it was murder. In his rush to assure the American people that everything could return to normal, President Bush declared...
