There have been a number of blog entries concerning what seems to be a double-standard from the ABC. He spoke out immediately to criticize the election of the Rev’d Canon Glasspool as Suffragan Bishop of LA, but continues his silence on Uganda. Fr. Jake points out the timing here.

Ruth Gledhill observed that the Archbishop is in a very difficult spot because of these two events.

Others have contrasted Williams’ statements before becoming ABC with his current stance. Among the most eloquent is from Colin Coward, who was one of Williams’ students in the 70s. Again, Ruth Gledhill has the story.

Perhaps the best analysis of the ABC’s apparent inconsistency is this blog entry. The money quote from Williams:  “I concluded that an active sexual relationship between two people of the same sex might therefore reflect the love of God in a way comparable to marriage, if and only if it had about it the same character of absolute covenanted faithfulness.”
