Y’all need to read this, especially those of you taking part in the Rowan Williams and Sharia slapfights:
Abp. Rowan Firestorm Was Started By The BBC Before The Interview Aired
From the blog post:
After a bit of digging, it turns out that the Beeb was reporting inaccurate statements about “ABC says Sharia is inevitable” even before the interview was broadcast. Rowan (and a well-tempered debate) never had a chance – whether you agree with his line or not.
HT to Khanya for pointing me to it. Also over at Khanya is something I’m thinking about right now, after he brought it up: Why doesn’t the church have a liturgy of some sort for healing after rape/sexual abuse?
