Archbishop of Canterbury: 'I could have done more'


From The BBC-

Dr Williams, who retires in December after 10 years, told the Daily Telegraph he could have engaged sooner with US bishops over gay ordinations.

The "problem" with the job was that the "demands of the communion have grown and are growing", he said.

He suggested a "presidential figure" could be appointed to share duties.

The BBC's Robert Piggot said deep divisions had dogged Dr Williams' leadership of the Anglican communion.

The Telegraph interview was his most candid acceptance of personal blame for the rift over homosexuality, he added.

Dr Williams said that during his 10-year tenure he had "at various points, disappointed both conservatives and liberals".

"Most of them are quite willing to say so quite loudly," he added.


The Archbishop of Canterbury has expressed remorse on the split in the Anglican Church over homosexuality.
