Who will rid us of this troublesome priest?

I am equally upset about His Disgrace Rowan Williams in the matters of both his Sharia statement and his countenancing of homosexuals.

It is time for the U.K. to disestablish the Church of England because its episcopacy is bringing shame upon the country, and has apparently abandoned the teachings of Christ and his apostles.

If the Church of England survives at all it should truly broaden, not to include atheists, heathens, and sexual deviants, but to represent all churches who believe in the morality of the Bible and the divinity of Jesus Christ. This is clear enough; both Old and New Testaments excoriate homosexuality, as well as fornication and adultery.

Perhaps there should be some ground rules: All bishops and C of E officers should believe in Jesus Christ and support the consistent morality taught in the criptures and summed up in the Ten Commandments. The Queen and any future sovereign should vow to uphold Christianity as taught by Christ – or they should resign or be debarred from the monarchy.
