Pagan druid claims anger archbishop
Pagan druid claims anger archbishop: "Archbishop of Canterbury elect Dr Rowan Williams has hit back at newspaper reports he is dabbling in paganism. He is being inducted as a 'druid' to the Gorsedd of the Bards during a historic ceremony at the National Eisteddfod in St Davids, Pembrokeshire, on Monday. He will join the mythical circle of Wales' key cultural contributors in a ritual The Times suggested was linked to ancient paganism. But the Archbishop of Wales, who will shortly succeed Dr George Carey at Canterbury, has branded the claims 'deeply offensive'. During his welcoming to the group, he will don a long white cloak while druids recite a prayer, trumpets sound and a 6ft 6ins sword is unsheathed."
