	Amazon.com: Resurrection: Interpreting the Easter Gospel: Books: Rowan Williams (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Williams is a careful scholar, but this is not the extent of his writing, and this particular text, while decidedly theological, involves much more personal reflection and contemplation than research and exposition.
		Williams believes that all Christians are called to help their brothers and sisters to hope, to creativity, and find the most fulfilling way penitence can create resurrection in their own lives.
		Williams opens up the church as an institution and a community of individuals to criticism and fallibility, something incredibly important in the face of continuing oppressive potential hierarchical institutions like the church possess.

	Rowan Williams' Wrong Reading of Romans by Robert Gagnon
		Williams’ point is that Paul’s “primary point [is] not about homosexuality but about the delusions of the supposedly law-abiding” who are “happily identifying with Paul’s castigation of someone else” and oblivious to the fact of “universal sinfulness and need,” including their own.
		In short, Williams appears to be saying that so-called “conservatives”—let it be known that opposing strongly the affirmation of homosexual practice in the church hardly makes one a theological “conservative” (more a centrist)!—should stop making such an issue of homosexual practice and attend to their own sins, which are just as great.
		Williams’ point in his discussion of Romans was to urge “conservatives” who have been staunch in their opposition to homosexual practice to back off in judging those who engage in homosexual behavior, given the immediately ensuing context in Rom 2:1-3.

	Ithilien: In defence of Rowan Williams
		Williams' central point (in the remarks to which Scotist takes exception) is that his private views as a theologian are not determinative of the Church's position.
		Williams says (rightly) that neither the Church of England, nor the Anglican Communion, nor the Christian Church as a whole today, nor the historic tradition of the Church supports the validity of same-sex (erotic) relationships.
		Williams distinguishes implicitly between respect for gay people (which is a self-evident moral duty of the first importance) and approval of sexual relationships between members of the same sex (which he regards as something not yet supported by the consensus of the Church).

	CNN.com - Rowan Williams: A modern archbishop - Feb. 27, 2003
		Rowan Williams, enthroned as Archbishop of Canterbury on Thursday, looks like an archetypal Old Testament prophet but speaks like a man with his finger firmly on the pulse of contemporary life.
		Born in Swansea on June 14, 1950, Williams is the first Archbishop of Canterbury from outside England since the split from Rome, and the first from Wales for at least 1,000 years.
		The son of Presbyterians who named him Rowan after a tree renowned for its magic qualities, Williams was made an honorary druid at a colourful pageant in Wales last year, laughing off suggestions the title made him some sort of pagan.

	Rowan Williams
		One of the major reasons why the appointment of Dr Rowan Williams as Archbishop of Canterbury has been greeted with such enthusiasm by some is the conviction that here at last is a man to lead the Church of England who is also a genuine theologian.
		Nevertheless, Rowan Williams is a prolific writer and speaker, and I am aware that I have only scratched the surface of his output.
		Williams has been described as ‘orthodox’, but it is well-known that his orthodoxy is not that of traditional Christianity.
