In his interview the Archbishop referred to Psalm 88.

// He went on to explain that it was acceptable to occasionally have doubt, and still be a Christian //

In the same way that its acceptable to occasionally drink alcohol, and still be a teetotaller.

I think that he is being honest - nobody is perfect.

I have always loved the story of the latae Labour Foreign Secretary, George Brown, who was known for his taste for the drink. Apparently, at a grand reception in Peru, as the band struck up he approached a figure in shimmering red and asked if he could have this waltz. The 'figure' turned him down, saying,"No, for three reasons:

Firstly, you are drunk;
Secondly this is not a waltz, but the Peruvian national anthem;
Thirdly, I am the Cardinal Archbishop of Lima."
^ ha ha!
/Mr Welby is a very intelligent and respected individual./
