Faith 1, Charity 0

A Commentary from the Manchester Guardian. Pretty pessimistic.

"There were two texts for the world's Anglican bishops as they prepared to leave Canterbury last night at the end of what was anticipated as a make-or-break Lambeth Conference. The first was about faith; the second about inclusivity. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, dearly hoped that focus on the first would open the way to the second. But for all the talking of the past fortnight, it does not look as if he has had much success in reconciling the two versions of Anglicanism, the evangelical and the liberal, that are straining to breaking point the Communion that links 70 million Anglicans."
