J. I. Packer calls on Rowan Willams to resign

Ruth Gledhill reports that J.I. Packer thinks the ABC should resign. She is a bit snotty about Packer:

My contention, voiced here at Gafcon, is that the views of a preacher unlikely to be recognised by Cantuar and who according to David Virtue does not deign to use mobile, computer or any of the new technologies actually do not matter very much. But Virtue in the press room here at Gafcon tells me he is still important.

Apparently, unless you use the newest technology you don't matter very much. A tad elitist? Perhaps this explains a lot of the drivel that passes for theology in TEC and the CofE. Those old fashioned printed pages in, what were they called, "books", you know that Bible thing, well that isn't the new technology. So let's just ignore it, it does matter very much.
