Then the Miller fell off his horse.
If you have time to be mindful, you have time to meditate.
True Christians are those who carry out Christ's doctrine in their lives.
Is the church really demonstrating the new life in Christ if there is no discipline, if there is no fencing in of the Lord's table, no demand for purity of life?
England is so defined, the class system, your education. I think what was unique about the Canterbury scene.
In my time as Archbishop of Canterbury I've seen a growing sense of unity and mission.
I have, alas, only one illusion left, and that is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
My visit this autumn is an opportunity to continue that rich tradition of visits between Canterbury and Rome.

What I worry about and don't like is the way in which the ideology of multiculturalism has declined into cultural relativism. I think that's very dangerous. When the Archbishop of Canterbury, for God's sake, says that you can't have one law for every...
