  Anglican clergy are very good at playing politics when it suits them (BTW, I'm Anglican myself - I'm not having a gratuitous dig at them for the sake of it), especially the higher echelons of the General Synod. Either the Church of England has appointed an idiot (likely) or Dr Venner is paving the way for an anti-war stance (also likely); it wouldn't be the first time the C of E would have been conspicuous in its attempt to undermine the British military - I recall Robert Runcie taking a similar stance during the Falklands War. I was working in a very sensitive area of the Civil Service at the time in close proximity to lots of military personnel with scrambled egg on their headwear, and I recall lots of mutterings about the C of E at the time because of what was seen as anti 'our boys' codswallop emanating from Lambeth Palace.
