Q: Does the Archbishop really live at Lambeth Palace?

A: The Archbishop of Canterbury's official London residence is Lambeth Palace. He lives here most of the time with his wife and children. The Archbishop also has homes in Canterbury and Wales.

What are you sharing Mr Williams ? One of your houses ? Or maybe your Palace ?

    My first though was 'what?' I've just returned to this thread and pretty much the same thought so I'm going to ask anyway, what?..

    Basically the Archbishop has 3 homes and no doubt countless luxuries and probably servants etc, but lectures people about sharing.

    I think the OP is saying that's rich coming from him.
  • And old David Cameron has Downing Street and Chequers,........


    I guess the point your missing is that these residences are official residences - i.e you're not in the job so get out of the house.

    So your point is?

    My point is that, i would rather listen to someone who was born in a manger, lived a life on the road, mixed with both rich and poor, the oppressed and the opressors and eventually died for his beliefs, rather than someone who lives in a palace and wears fancy dress .
