Bye bye Rowan
Its s shame Rowan Williams is standing down in December - he really should go much faster than that.
But I dread to think of who David Cameron will choose - given his plans to abolish the Act of Settlement and marriage.

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.
"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920."To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.

The choice will, in fact, now be made solely by the Crown Appointments Committee of the General Synod of the Church of England.
It used to be that this committee presented the Prime Minister with two candidates - their first and second choices. The Prime Minister could select either.
In practice this meant that they chose an utter impossibility and the candidate they wanted.
It was one of Gordon Brown's reforms to end this practice. So the Prime Minister will simply advise the Queen to accept the candidate chosen by this committee. In its way, this is much the same as the Queen does.
Thanks for that Edward - and I'm greatly relieved.
