Correspondence between an evangelical Christian and Rowan Williams has been uncovered which reveals his support for gay marriage. The letters were written in 2000 and 2001, when Dr Williams was the Archbishop of Wales, and confirm his liberal stance on homosexuality.

Archbishop Williams quoted the theologian Jeffrey John to back his position. READ MORE
