The way of the Church has been that of Caiaphas rather than Christ. The word Establishment suggests inevitably, and particularly in the setting of Westminster Abbey, the constitutional position of the Church of England and such a position is clearly incompatible with post-Constantinian realities and is widely recognized as being so. – Donald MacKinnon, Scottish Episcopalian and one time teacher of Rowan Williams.
