When Rowan Williams was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury, the reaction by mainstream evangelicals (including a large proportion of the Church of England Evangelical Council) was quite rightly negative.
He was seen by many as not standing within the full orbit of orthodox Christianity on a variety of issues, not least that of homosexual practice. What has changed such that he could be invited to an evangelical gathering such as NEAC 4? Precious little.
The decision to invite Rowan Williams to NEAC 4 is nothing short of calamitous.
