Archbishop of Canterbury

[johnmadden1989]

WHAT a voice. Caramel-like

[shawry86]

on state solution...2 peoples..3 religions...rename it the holy land...

[Covenanter1680]

1 Get a shave and a haircut.

2 Start reading the Bible. (KJV preferably)

3 Pray to God that He will save your soul.

[boomac62]

I wonder why a shave and haircut are important to you? Are 60 million people who will die of starvation imprtatant also? Peace

[Covenanter1680]

Every soul is precious, we ought to realise that our souls are precious, the most valuable possession we have and ensure they are made right with our Maker. A shave and a haircut will not benefit the soul, However if the Bish did take avail himself of a shave and a haircut, people might regard him as less eccentric. Peace 2 U.

[boomac62]

That may well be true, sometimes people will not look beyond appreance. And of course all souls are precious...I think we can agree on that. The KVJ is another matter, but peace to you and God bless you.

[archdeaconj]

If the Archbishop have a shave and a haircut, many people - I, for one - might regard him as fundamentally worldly, materialist, unspiritual, shallow, inauthentic and unreflective, for then he would look just like your average banker or businessman. I raise my glass to eccentrics everywhere!

[cuttersnimrod]

[Synthweasel]

This is no man of God! hes a flippin disgrace! to even think about Muslim values!!

[pantz64]

What about issues closer to home? like the abuse that happened in kendall house (gravesend kent) a home run by the church of England for girls who were abused with drugs and were sexually and physically abused? where is our justice, where is our apology? watch my 2 vids about the C of E and see for yourselves and yes we have 100% documented proof of what went on.

[RedRoseAndy69]

I disagree with Israeli politician Shimon Peres when he says that Middle East settlement may not be a political one. The worst excesses of Israel since its' inception have been due to proportional representation allowing small religious zealot political parties to dictate policy in return for power. In order to secure peace we must have first-past-the-post. Anti-Arab policies will then be moderated, and thus settlements can be negotiated more willingly.

[xbmcuser]

I believe that the 2 state solution is only a victory for the Zionists.

With 1 state & Arabs are given a vote then very soon they will out-vote the Jews, (because Arabs have a high birth rate, & few Jews arrive from the Eastern Europe now).

1 state solution Israel + democracy = Israel last maybe 50 years.

2 States doesn't make sense for peace, think about it, if you want true peace u bring together Jews, Arabs and Xtians and live together in harmony in one state, sharing, with other?

[newminkey]

Seems very ironic that a religious leader is talking about solutions to Middle East crisis, when it's religion that's at the root of the problem. When will the human race grow up and voluntary abandon the poisonous superstition that is religion?

[archdeaconj]

What? Religion is the root of the troubles? No, it is territory. Britains Lord Balfour gave the land of Palestine to the Jews saying it was a land without people for a people without land, but it was a lie. Bit by bit the Zionists took the land away from the Palestinians, so that now they have only 22 percent of the original land. This is not the best land but the worst. Still the Israelis are not satisfied. They want all of it. That is the root of the problem.

[MoBushin04]

Rowan Williams in recent criticism of Bush says nothing about

. 60M killed by Athiest Mao

. 48M killed by Democrats

. 20M killed by Athiest Stalin

. 12M killed by faith abandoning alternate lifestyler Hitler

But when war is declared on us and Bush takes the fight off our soil, the archbishop whines and has NO plan to defeat terrorism.

Rowan visited grave of PJP and said a prayer. Perhaps he should have learned from Pope to oppose a war but not join the opposition.

Wake up lefties!

[paulaitchison]

good ol' rowan- the catholic church needs to get a pope who isnt a crippled old man but still has some energy left- we need a leader like rowan williams-

[archdeaconj]

Yes, yes.

"For a long time I waited for a great voice to speak up in Rome...the spirit would be lost if it did not utter a cry of condemnation. It has been explained to me since that the condemnation was indeed voiced but that it was...not clear. What the world expects of Christians is that they should voice their condemnation in such a way that never a doubt could rise in the heart of the simple man, that they should confront the blood-stained face history has taken on today." (Camus)

[AttilatheMike]

Rowan Williams is a fantastic man and a true spiritual leader...one voice is a great movement

[SodomyHussein]

This is all fine. I support OneVoice because it's at least a new start.

However, I think that OneVoice needs to be more specific. We already know a lot about Palestinian terrorism, which is a major concern. However, not so many people realize the damage that is being done to the Palestinian people by the Israeli government's illegal occupation of Palestine.

[onebluestone]

I agree that it is crucial to emphasize the importance of accountability. At the same time, I support the Onevoice Movement because it is a symbol of a new beginning. The past mistakes are made by politics of fear and hatred. I believe the only way to create a better future is invest most of energy into what we want. Peace Now.

Middle East Peace begins with State of Israel compliance with international laws: UNSC 242, UNGA 181, and IV Geneva Conventions; a War Crimes Tribunal is on orderto hold Israel political/military leadership for Crimes Against Humanity- Principles of Nuremberg, Principle VI.
