Confusingand Unhelpful Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has been feeling extraor­ dinary pressure in recent days. If being titular head of the Anglican Communion hasn't been enough of a burden, his role of Primate of the Church of England has brought about additional stress. Archbishop Archbishop Williams infuriated a large segment of British society when he said Islamic legal codes ought to be recognized in Britain. Williamswas In a radio interview with BBC, the archbishop said aspects of sharia law, Islam's legal system , could be accommodated in Britain's legal system , and he added that sharia even may seem unavoidable. Speak­ immediately ing of the multicultural society found in Great Britain, Archbishop Williams said Muslims should not have to choose between "the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty." Sharia law, derived chastisedby from the Koran, is frequently criticized for what many perceive as a lack of human rights. manyAnglicans, The archbishop was immediately chastised by many Anglicans, par­ ticularly evangelicals in England, for his remarks, and he used his pres­ idential address for the opening of the General Synod of the Church of particularly England to clarify what he said. ". .. the question remains of whether certain additional choices could and should be made available under evangelicalsin the law of the United Kingdom for resolving disputes and regulating transactions ," he told the synod. The primate's critics , including his predecessor , Archbishop George Carey, said introduction of elements England. of sharia would be "disastrous for the nation," and some cited the ten­ sion experienced by Anglicans who live in countries where Muslims predominate. Archbishop Williams has been lmown as a defender of Christian val­ ues, so his willingness to compromise religious convictions seems curious. He told the General Synod of the importance of witnessing to the Lordship of Christ, and we are willing to take him at his word . His provocative comments were not what the church needed as it attempts to address its own controversy.

ManyFirst-time Contributors We take this opportunity to express gratitude to the many people who participated in the annual campaign of the Living Church Fund during 2007. In particular, it is a privilege to give recognition to the Living Church Associates - those persons who through one or more gifts dur­ ing the year make voluntary contributions of $100 or more above the cost of their subscriptions. We are pleased to list their names in this spe­ cial Charitable Giving Issue. During the past year we have noticed many new names among our contributors , and we have observed others who have moved into the Associates category after having made smaller donations in the past. We are grateful for these developments and thankful for all contributions , whatever the amount. The individuals, families, parishes and other organizations which pro­ vide these contributions merit our deepest gratitude. Without them , it would not be possible to publish this unique magazine, for income from subscriptions and advertising has not been able to keep up with the ever­ increasing costs of postage and production. Our supporters enable us to continue to provide quality publications for The Episcopal Church and other Anglicans, and for this, we are most thankful.
