Rowan Williams answers questions on sharia
Questions and Answers here. The same in video.
Hat tip to The Times.
So Where is the Justice in Sharia?
Cathcon has obtained a statement from the Dutch Protestant Church on Rowan Williams.
Listening to the negative comments in the press and in church and society one might perhaps conclude that the speech of Dr. Williams was not well placed (Cathcon-understatement of the year). Nevertheless, to the Protestant Church in the Netherlands it does not seem very helpful to the speak out in favour or against the statement Williams made. Firstly because the theme of Sharia is not a topic in our country at the moment (out of fear?), and secondly, and more important, because a statement of our church would have the chance of worsening the climate of interreligious dialogue.
The German Protestant Wolfgang Huber was much more forthright.
Perhaps not an entire coincidence, the Head of Germany's Catholics is warning against the creation of parallel societies.
And for a really forthright condemnation of Williams, Melanie Phillips on the BBC last night.
