[telegraph.co.uk] January 20, 2005--The Archbishop of Canterbury and other senior Anglicans have been accused of weak and dishonest leadership in a book by a group headed by a diocesan bishop.

Dr Rowan Williams and his colleagues are described as "frightened" or "inept" and are criticised for turning a minor crisis over homosexuality into a "full scale disaster".

John Saxbee, Colin Slee, John Spong, and other revisionist leaders in the Church of England and the Anglican Communion attack Rowan Williams for what Spong characterizes as William's mishandling of "a relatively minor crisis" as the Anglican Communion "watched a new consciousness about homosexuality struggling to be born in the face of ancient ignorance and prejudice."
