Archbishop of Canterbury on 'healing' Zimbabwe trip

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15228798

Dr Williams is due to preside over an open-air Eucharist in the National Sports Stadium in Harare.

There have been reports of violence between rival factions of Anglicans ahead of the archbishop's two-day stay in the country.

Dr Williams has also asked to meet Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.

Dr Williams hopes to address the issue directly with Mr Mugabe despite warnings it could give the president an opportunity to make political capital.

rowan -- the schism is coming.
the church will survive -- but not if we just keep arguing the same shit over & over w/ conservatives.

1. Rowan Williams is really one of the

good guys. I am an agnostic but when I see folks like him and Jim Wallis ( from Sojourners) and other people of faith like them , it really helps me put the idiot fundies in perspective.
