or at least what he was reported as saying, and I admit there may be some differences between the two.
But if the report is correct, if the Archbishop of the Canterburry, head of the Anglican Church of England, says:
"The question, 'How can you believe in a God who permits suffering on this scale?' is therefore very much around at the moment, and it would be surprising if it weren't - indeed it would be wrong if it weren't."
without giving a philosophical follow up to his Church, based on their particular teachings, to help them answer that question, then he's not helping them to strengthen faith at all, he's helping them to question the existense of God, and then abandoning them to their own speculations.
