Rowan Williams speakly clearly and lucidly on Radio 4's 'Today' programme

The media is wont to suggest that Williams-speak is impenetrable and obscure; but that's usually when the audience he's been invited to address has a better command of the English language than jobbing journalists. He's not one for 'dumbing down' just because the press is there, thank God. But this short interview demonstrates his ability to match his language to his audience.
