Are any of his probable successors really that much "worse" with regards to the homosexual issue from your standpoint? The BBC website gave a shortlist, and none of them seem particularly conservative (even if the Archbishop of York said that homosexual marriage shouldn't be legalized). Or is it that you think the others wouldn't be so willing to overlook the actions of the ECUSA?Uh, I care about other things, too. They've historically alternated Anglo-Catholics and Evangelicals. I'm an Anglo-Catholic and tend to feel somewhat uncomfortable with Evangelical leadership. Christopher Cocksworth of somebody of the sort would be eminently respectable but would still take a while for me to adjust to. My concern isn't also necessarily so much about the successor as the mere fact that Dr Williams, whom I greatly respect and love, is resigning at all (although I understand the unenviability of his job for the past ten years and wish him all the best). I knew it was coming but I didn't know this soon.
I'm not currently worried from a political standpoint. Or rather, I am but no more so than I would be if Dr Williams weren't retiring.
