Amongst the reams of http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3337 made about what the Archbishop of Canterbury did or did not say in regard to Sharia Law, one aspect of the debate has, as far as I can tell, not been mentioned …. His Oath of Office.
Yet this Oath is central to what the Archbishop has said and done!
Whilst looking through the online comments made about the story, I came across this one from a Revd Dr Alan C. Clifford, which strikes right to the heart of the matter, and proves beyond any doubt whatsoever, that Rowan Williams should be removed from Office for breaking his Sacred Oath.
For can there be a more damning offence, for any Cleric, than to break his promise to his God?
Do read this letter:Sir, May a case not be made that the Archbishop of Canterbury has betrayed his ordination and consecration vows (see below)? He is not called to be a ‘PC’ mouthpiece in a posture of appeasement towards Muslims, especially when the creeping Islamification of the UK is already making considerable progress. Dr Williams is not called to ‘explore’ the possible accommodation of aspects of shari’ah in a UK legal context but to declare the Word of God. According to his ‘penitential apology’ at the Church of England Synod, he completely misreads his duty to honour the Lordship of Christ in these (and other) areas. Christ said “Beware of false prophets” (Matt. 7: 15), and who was more false than the Prophet Muhammad? The double standing ovation the Archbishop received was sickening to hear. Such is the apostasy of those who clapped.
I leave readers to judge the above remarks in the light of promises Dr Williams made at his consecration:
ARE you ready, with all faithful diligence, to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doctrine contrary to God’s Word; and both privately and openly to call upon and encourage others to the same?
Answer: I am ready, the Lord being my helper.

Yours faithfully,
The Revd Dr Alan C. Clifford
It makes you wonder why Dr Williams was given a standing ovation doesn’t it? In better days, he’d have been dragged off to the ‘Tower’!
