Such is his legacy as the ABC. The homophobic bigoted archbishops such as Peter Akinola of Nigeria were enabled by Williams failure to speak out against them. Williams has a long history of failing to deal with the real issues of the church.

He attempted to impose a churchwide covenant of belief in churches across the Communion, but it failed in votes in his own native England. When the failure became obvious, he submitted his resignation.
