The Richard Dimbleby Lecture: 'In his first public speech,
two weeks after taking office as the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams argues the case for morality and religion in the
market driven world in which we live. A world where, he argues, it seems that even Governments have little power compared to multi-national
companies. The Dimbleby Lecture is an annual event dedicated
to the memory of the famous broadcaster Richard Dimbleby'. It appears that earlier lectures are available for download. We hope this
will be the case with Abp Williams's.

Worth Noting
Canterbury
finds itself a startling new voice: A N Wilson, writing in The Telegraph, reviews the poetry of Rowan Williams and likes what
he sees.
Christmas
message from the Archbishop of Canterbury: Available in seven languages.
Is
the Pope Catholic? Gerald Warner, writing in The Spectator, argues that perhaps the reason for the current meltdown in the Roman
Catholic church is that John Paul II is scandalously liberal.
