Incoming Archbishop of Canterbury becomes a druid
Rebecca Allison writes on Tuesday August 6, 2002 in 'The Guardian':
An ancient early morning ceremony yesterday saw the incoming Archbishop of Canterbury stepping into a circle of Pembrokeshire stones and into a controversy.
Rowan Williams donned a long white robe, stood inside the sacred circle in a mist shrouded field in Wales, and became a druid.
The Archbishop of Wales was one of 50 people to be inducted into the Gorsedd of Bards during the service at the National Eisteddfod, a celebration of Welsh culture this week at St David's, Pembrokeshire.
The Gorsedd comprises Welsh-speaking poets, writers, musicians, artists and others who have made a distinguished contribution to Welsh language and culture. But the ceremony was seen by some as too close to paganism for comfort.
The Rev Angus Macleay, of the evangelical group Reform, said: "Even if to Welsh speakers it is recognised as purely a cultural thing, the appearance of it looks very pagan. You have folks calling themselves druids, dressed in white and going into a stone circle, reciting prayers which don't mention Jesus Christ."
Dr Williams, who takes up his post in November, hit back at suggestions that the honour was linked to paganism. It was "one of the greatest honours which Wales can bestow on her citizens", he said. "Some people have reached the wrong conclusion about the ceremony. If people had actually looked at the words of the hymns and text used they would have seen a very Christian service."

Brisantes über Nemenyi und Volkmann?
Neuheidentum Mitte der Achtziger Jahre in Berlin: Ein seltsames Dickicht aus Esoterik, rechten Splittergruppen und heftigen Auseinandersetzungen um den richtigen organisatorischen Weg. Heiden in schlechter Gesellschaft - manche von ihnen wollen es heute nicht mehr wahrhaben, tendieren gar dazu, die eigene Biographie zu fälschen, neu zu interpretieren(...)
beginnt eine kurze, aber hochinteressante und für Nemenyis momentane Anstrengungen, sich aus dem Ruch zu befreien, ein Freund ariosophischer Ideologieträger wie dem Armanenorden zu sein, sicher kontraproduktive Sammlung von Material, das Matthias Wenger in seinem Magazin "Der Hain" veröffentlicht hat.
