The chess match between the Pope and the Archbishop

That was a fascinating (and shrewd) move Pope Benedict XVI made last week, when he invited disaffected Anglicans into the fold. Clearly, it caught the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, by surprise. And it displeased many Anglicans, who regarded it as poaching ….. In short, the chess match is far from over. Ideas and influences from these two sister churches have always traveled both ways.
