Rowan cleanses his soul
12:42 Saturday 24 Mar 07
The Archbishops of Canterbury and York are leading a procession through London to mark the 200th anniversary of Britain’s abolition of the slave trade. BBC
Okay, so far no problem I guess.
Dr Williams said it was a way Anglicans could try to heal “historic injustices inflicted in the name of the Church”.
So…. the Church inflicts injustices on many people for many years and for the church to be cleansed of all blame and sin all it takes is a stroll with some mates and much ego-inflation?
Dr Williams writes in the walk’s programme: “This important anniversary, when we recall both the shameful history of the slave trade and its modern legacies, presents us with an opportunity to open up that past to the healing power of Christ.
And that means that by the end of the day absolution will be complete and they can start again?
And why wait for the 200th? Why not have done this last year? or before then?
Inane.

I wonder when the Catholic Church is going to do a march to cleanse its soul apropos the child abuse scandals.
