THE Archbishop of Wales has demanded the findings of the 2004 Richard Commission be used as a "benchmark for what devolution for Wales should look like".
And what the hell has "devolution for Wales" got to do with you?
Get back to your pulpit and start preaching the Gospel or whatever it is Anglican Archbishops preach nowadays.

What, don't Welsh peoiple have the right to voice their opinion on Welsh Devolution?
Just I don't expect my politicians to tell me how to pray on Sunday, I don't expect the church to lecture me on matters of politics.
He's a Welshman though, a passionate one too, urely he has as much right as I do to state his views. Luckily for him he has a job title that means papers print what he says while I comment on random blogs :-)

But it's that job title which is the problem, it should limit him to commenting on spiritual matters.
Really? So a builder isn't allowed to complain about how expensive milk is these days, and a farmer can't moan about the property market?
Why should Rowan Williams not tell people what he thinks on things, just because they're not to do with his job?
Because it's against his work specification, remember what his ultimate employer once said?
Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s
Do explain, there's so many interpretations of that "quote" that it's hard to know where youre coming from!
Why was the Archbishop's opinion and not the builder's you mentioned,considered more important?
Because of his position as a spiritual/religious leader~but in that position of moral authority, his Gaffer has laid down the guidelines that his employees/customers must be very careful to maintain a definite distance between atters of God and matters of the state.
That definite distance is not maintained when the Archbishop abuses his position as one of Christ's shepherds to give a public (in private he can say what he likes)opinion on a matter which has no link with his pastoral duties or responsibilities.
Having said that, Im not a biblical scholar, others may feel free to interpret it differently;)
