The bishop of London used his sermon for the inevitable Anglican eco-cobblers:
We stand looking forward to a century which is full of promise and full of peril. Human beings are confronting the question of how to use wisely a power that has been given to us through the discoveries of the last century. We shall not be converted to the promise of the future by more knowledge, but rather by an increase of loving wisdom and reverence, for life, for the earth and for one another.
On a related note, I think Rowan forgot to comb his hair; and don’t get me started on those eyebrows:
I thought the whole sermon by Chartres was great! So glad you-know-who didn’t give it.
better than expected.
Isn’t the earth part of God’s creation, and therefore to be revered as such? On a lighter note, I agree Archbishop Williams really needs someone to make sure he doesn’t go out in public looking like he has been dragged backwards through the bushes. Or did he give up combing his hair for Lent, and hadn’t got around to having a haircut and eyebrow trim in time for the wedding?
