[AFP] 11 Feb 2008--Prime Minister Gordon Brown praised the embattled Archbishop of Canterbury as a man of "great integrity" Monday, as the Anglican church leader was set to defend controversial remarks on sharia law.
Hours before Rowan Williams was to address the General Synod of the Church of England's leaders, a spokesman for the prime minister said Brown understood the archbishop's "difficulty" amid a storm sparked by comments last week.
The Church of England's highest-ranking cleric has drawn heavy criticism since he said Friday that the adoption of some parts of sharia law alongside Britain's legal system "seems unavoidable" in certain circumstances.
