Die Scharia-freundliche Politik von Erzbischof Williams hat die Kirche von England in eine ihrer schwersten Krisen gestürzt und könnte sogar schon bald zu einem Schisma führen. Die heute lancierte Kritik der britischen Königin an Erzbischof Williams deutet auf die wachsenden Spannungen innerhalb der anglikanischen Kirche hin. Jetzt wird es spannend:

Queen Elizabeth, who is the head of the Church of England, has reportedly expressed anguish, distress and dismay over the Islamic law controversy ,which she fears threatens to undermine the authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Church of England.

While the Archbishop, Dr. Rowan Williams has refused to apologise to the General Synod for recommending the incorporation of some aspects of Sharia law into the British legal system, saying such a move is unavoidable in the long-term, the Queen has said that she is dismayed by the recent developments.

The Queen, a royal source said, has not expressed any view on Dr. Williams statements, but the view among courtiers is that the issue has not been handled skillfully, and could led to a possible schism within the Church and between its followers.
