The Archbishop of Canterbury was facing demands to quit last night as the row over sharia law intensified.ÂÂ
Leading bishops publicly contradicted Dr Rowan Williams’s call for Islamic law to be brought into the British legal system.
With the Church of England plunged into crisis, senior figures were said to be discussing the archbishop’s future.
One member of the church’s “Cabinet”, the Archbishop’s Council, was reported as saying: “There have been a lot of calls for him to resign. I don’t suppose he will take any notice, but, yes, he should resign.”
Officials at Lambeth Palace told the BBC Dr Williams was in a “state of shock” and “completely overwhelmed” by the scale of the row. It was said that he could not believe the fury of the reaction.

Fair’s fair – wot?
If they think he should resign, maybe the Archbishop of Canterbury should consider that option. He will have a hard time convincing his fellow if his views are too different from them.
Maybe there always will be an England after all.
(And, also, snooty women advising their daughters to “Close your eyes and thing of wearing a burqa” isn’t very good advice.)
“thing” should = “think.” Damn you, Newcastle.
Oh, who am I kidding? I can’t stay mad at you. I love you, baby.
Come on, God. I know that whole second covenant thing means you can’t get directly involved, but a lightning bolt isn’t really direct, is it?
Just one little smiting, for old times’ sake.
