Actually Sentamu is pretty conservative, and his action was inspired by both Israeli and Palestinian suffering.

File it under: when religious leaders speak their mind. For a staid old church, this stuff is a breath of fresh air. [...]

How about President John Taylor who went into hiding for the last three years of his presidency defending to his death the right of Mormons to practice polygamy?

What we have is a left-leaning Anglican, who is blind to the actions of Palestinian and other Arab islamic terrorists, but, who is willing to condemn the Israelis at the drop of a hat. Heck, if the ArchBishop of Cantebury had his way, any Israeli govt trying to defend itself will be condemned, no matter what the circumstances are.
To these left-leaning moral relativists, Israel and the USA can do nothing that they wont find some reason to be critical of.

I know at least in some places in Europe–ok—at least one place in Europe–they lived far away from the rest of us in very high class fancy (by the standards of the surrounding area) places with cushy furnishings.
I think it’s a difficult thing—
1. They are old—and it is probably harder for them to adjust.
2. It is hard for their wives to adjust.
3. But it looks pretty bad–all the money spent, etc
4. Does it make it hard for them to be in touch with the people of the area?

I think that their sacrifices on behalf of the people of the Phillipines and Chile are incredibly valuable. I don’t understand those sacrifices to be symbolic actions that comprise “prophetic enactments” of the sort Ronan was blogging about, but they are significant sacrifices nonetheless. Just of a different kind — less like fasting and more like Mother Theresa’s charitable actions.

Other apostles have lived outside the Zion Corridor, but they were largely places like Europe and Canada.

I’m actually the kind of person who would want to try those. (ok, maybe not #3) I once made my family attend a Spanish branch for 2 years when we lived on the border near Mexico. What an instructive activity that was for all of us!
