Don't use religion to divide people, warns Welby

From The Church Times-

RELIGIOUS leaders must counter the lure of extremism by demonstrating that different faiths can co-exist without becoming violent, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said.

It is too easy for violent radicals to persuade the impressionable that those from other others faiths were "bad" while they were "good", Archbishop Welby said. Much of the conflict he has seen around the Anglican Communion was justified on religious grounds, and this was spreading to the UK too.

GOOD! Finally some clear statements from Justin Welby, ABC. Usually he acts as first among observers at the Anglican Communion (as if we didn't know the issues already)..NOW, Archbishop Justin, how about some REAL DIRECTION on how to get along at THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION (without dividing people). Words, words, and more words?

Recently on CNN International you had a interview Chritiana Amanpour and said ¨The Church has to get it right¨ on the subject of sexual abuse...I believe we knew that part already...how about some suggestions on HOW?
