The following is an excerpt from the press briefing  the Archbishop of
Canterbury gave in Colombo at the conclusion of his three day SL Visit. I
believe that the British congregation will need some clarifications from the
Church.

"The head of the Anglican communion, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan
Williams, has said that surgical military action against terrorism is needed
in Sri Lanka. Dr Rowan Williams, who is visiting Sri Lanka, said that he
hoped and prayed that such action would lead to a opening of communication
between the government and the Tamil Tigers:
"The military solution to the problems of the country increasingly appears
to be no solution. It is undoubtedly inevitable that what you might call
surgical military action against terrorism should take place. But we all
hope and pray that that will lead not to ...victory for one, defeat for
another, but to an opening of communication, a re-establishment of the
possibilities for civil society to develop." "

People here, specially the oppressed Tamil people, looked forward to the
visit of the evangelical father, the follower of Jesus who gave the Jewish
people oppressed by the Roman slave state, courage and hope. They expected
father  Dr Rowan Williams to take action, say a word, to give them hope  and
courage. We, who believe neither gods nor souls nor mind with out matter,
too expected him to be true to Jesus. But the Holy farther  preached the
'Romans' here to use surgical military action against the local 'Jewish'
rebels! We heard the moans of the suffering Tamils crying 'farther, farther
why have you forsaken us'.

Ofcourse,then Father abandoned his Son for the true sacrifice on behalf of
salvation of the mankind .But today the Canterbury father has forsaken
suffering Tamils for saving the repressive regime backed by the global
powers. May be the good farther wanted to represent the head of the Church
and not the British Parliament!
