Ruth Gledhill weblog: TEC Bishop savages Rowan Williams
Monday, 15 January 2007

Paul Marshall, the Bishop of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, has written this extraordinary attack on Rowan Williams, sent to some members of TEC's House of Bishops before their meeting in Texas last week and sent to me just now. As you will see if you read it, this guy has missed his vocation. He should be out here in the blogosphere, with all of us. Others blogging on this already include Jim Naughton, from the Washington diocese, who says Marshall articulates what many have been feeling for some time. Marshall has previously been attacked for his revisionist views, including on StandFirm. I think he is being just a bit too hard on the Archbishop. Dr Williams has written about why he decided to invite Schori to the Primates' meeting in Tanzania, and has also had meetings with US liberals that a fringe Bishop such as Marshall could not possibly know about. The orthodox are worried. Poor Dr Williams is being attacked from all sides. In the letter below, Bishop Marshall writes of the pending crucifixion and resurrection of The Episcopal Church as it is presumably 'forced' to split. But if you ask me, it is the Archbishop who's being crucified here, not TEC or anyone else. the rest
