Signs of Hope? - The First Black Archbishop in England
Lest I spend today only being negative, here is a truly positive story. The Church of England yesterday coronated its first black archbishop to the #2 spot in the entire heirarchy.
Today’s Daily Telegraph has a great story on this:
Archbishop of York is enthroned to the sound of African drums http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=LM2IOAL3K4F41QFIQMGSFFOAVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2005/12/01/nbish01.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/12/01/ixhome.html
I do not know much about Bishop Sentamu, but any man who fought against Idi Amin cannot be all bad. I can do without the quote from Che Guvera, who was really just a brutal thug (even a broken clock is right twice a day). But how about this one:
“It’s a scandal of the Church in England that in the past decades it has tried everything except to stick to Jesus’s plan for the world,” he said.
