The Manchester Guardian takes the Archbishop of Canterbury to the woodshed over not pressing his beliefs on the communion. Its from a column called "Comment is Free". My dad always said you get what you pay for."The point that interests me is why he continues and whether what we see is peculiarly religious behaviour. It's just possible that it is not. What the Archbishop is holding on to is the idea that we can't have ideas alone. They are always part of a conversation within a particular community, and sometimes the things that we get from that community are more important than any particular idea. In his case, as a Christian, who believes that the church (in some sense) is a means for God's purpose in the world, he has to think that connection with it is a vital part of what he is called to do."

"The Guardian". It dropped "Manchester" in 1959.
