Within the UK, church leaders and public opinion were both consistently against the war. Within the church, the outgoing bishop of Canterbury warned of war and the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Anglican leader Rowan Williams, has called an attack “immoral and illegal”, urging “tackling the root causes of the disputes” (Washington Post/AP, 8/6/02). In October bishops called war against theological concepts of a just war.
