 Williams has no answer to questions of life
In an interview on Radio 4 this morning, Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury engaged in discussion with John Humphreys.
Humphreys invited Rowan Williams to try and persuade him that God exists. Humphreys said that he used to believe in God but he has seen too much suffering in the world to believe in God now. He set about asking Williams a number of questions about suffering, God's existence, why he can't believe, life after death etc. To all these questions Williams was completely incapable of delivering a straight forward biblical answer, but instead gave very vague philosophical answers.
To the question 'why don't you try and convert people of other religions,' Williams said 'The Church did not blaze out into the Roman world and say here is the truth you must believe it, but what you say is what we say'.
To the question of 'what happens to me if I don't open the door [to God] will it be too late after death?' Williams responded 'No, we continually have the choice of saying yes or no.'
