The furor over Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams' sharia law comments is still going strong, certainly adding fuel to the self-set fire that threatens the confused, dispirited and heterodox Anglican Church.Mangling of biblical texts. Denial of Scriptural authority. Female priests. Homosexual Priests. Same-sex marriage. Liberation theology. Pantheistic eco-theology.
