Archbishop hits back at critics
Updated on 13 October 2007
The Archbishop of Canterbury answered critics of religion in a university lecture. Dr Rowan Williams told an audience at the Taliesin Arts Centre in Swansea that the debate over religion had been approached in the wrong way by people like biologist Professor Richard Dawkins.
He said: "There are specific areas of mismatch between what Richard Dawkins may write about and what religious people think they are doing. There are few things more annoying than people saying 'I know what you mean'."
Dr Williams described Dawkins as a "wonderfully lively and attractive writer" but said his arguments were not fully engaging with religion.
