Is Individualism rather than Universalism the problem?

Interesting review and summary of Rowan Williams lecture at http://goringe.net/theology/?p=120

The tone of it is to suggest that Williams was defending secular universalism rather more than I've suggested he was, but was attacking a sort of dry *individualism* that sees people only as citizens with a personal but identical relationship to the State : "The actual shape of people’s lives (their ’social identity and personal motivation’) is shaped by other kinds of involvement, other kinds of affiliation, other kinds of community. People are not just citizens.

That’s not something he simply wishes were true - it is, he thinks, a (rather obvious) fact about the actual society that we live in. It is simply not the case that we have a society made up of a large set of private citizens, whose social dispositions and habits are the result of purely private preferences."
