Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey has denied being unsupportive of Dr Williams, the current spiritual leader of the Anglican Communion.

This Easter has seen a supposed “personal feud” between the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and his predecessor Lord Carey emerge into the open, with the release of a letter demanding that the former figure-head of the worldwide Anglican Communion end his “disloyalty”, reports Virtue Online.

The blunt letter rebukes Carey for what it suggests have been his efforts to set himself up as an “alternative leader” to Dr Williams.

The debate, which adds further controversy to the already strained Anglican Communion, has come about after Lord Carey has been seen to have intervened with Dr Williams’ guidance in a number of greatly sensitive issues currently taking place in the Church.

In speaking out a number of times on issues such as women bishops, gay clergy, and relations with Muslims, Carey has quickly become a figure-head for those that are opposing Dr Williams and are attempting to halt the liberal direction the Communion seems to be taking. the rest
