I hope that there is a pragmatic element to the Archbishop's public statements (or non-statements) on these issues, though not much church house does convinces me that they have is a considered press policy. Speaking out on Uganda too soon or too stridently (he has now done so http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/andrewbrown/2009/dec/12/rowan-williams-uganda-speaks-out) might have made diplomatic efforts there impossible, which is hardly a prophetic action. Making a clear public statement about Canon Glasspool's election might offer ECUSA time to pause for thought before confirming her election, affirms the Archbishop's committment to Lambeth and the collegiality of communion, and (wishful thinking here) limits the amount of homophobia directed against her from 'traditionalist' positions.
