The BBC reports that Rowan Williams used his 'sermon' to question whether the 'richest people' are sharing their burden, whilst suggesting if there was 'confidence' that it was being fairly shared. In a further article on Rowan Williams' 'sermon' the BBC relates that he stated that there existed 'broken bonds and abused trust'. Perhaps Rowan Williams needs to direct his ire at those who have 'broken bonds and abused trust'? We can but hope that he was referring to those who have practiced social engineering on our society, those who have abused the trust placed in them by their venal misuse of public money? Perhaps Rowan Williams, in quoting from the book of Common Prayer, thus:
"If ye shall perceive your offences to be such as are not only against God but also against your neighbours; then ye shall reconcile yourselves unto them; being ready to make restitution."was directing his quotation at the guilty? Whether the guilty will recognize the advice being offered, is of course another matter - and I will not be holding my breath for a miracle, especially today of all days.
Attempting to ascertain exactly how much Rowan Williams earns has proved a tad difficult, however this article states it is £70,000 pa - as it has also been a tad difficult to ascertain whether Lambeth Palace is a 'grace & favour' residence. If both are correct, perhaps Rowan Williams would volunteer a 'pay-cut' and/or pay a 'market rent'?
It might be an idea if politicians did not do 'God' and those 'representatives' of God did not do politics?
Just saying...........
Afterthought: As stated in the comments, do all those named Rowan have to try to be comedians?
