The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams has made clear his conviction that Jesus would have sided with protesters from the anti-corporate Occupy Movement, who have been camping out and protesting at various economic centres around the world.
In an article in the Christmas edition of the Radio Times magazine, the leader of the world’s 78 million Anglicans argued that Jesus would be "there, sharing the risks, not just taking sides."
The Occupy Movement are protesting what they argue is the unfairness and illegalities of the global financial community.
Williams believes that Jesus would always be "steadily changing the entire atmosphere by the questions that he asked of everybody involved -- rich and poor, capitalist and protester and cleric."
The archbishop added that Jesus’ famous statement "give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, "was him actually questioning "what's the exact point at which involvement in the empire of capitalist economy involves you fatally."
The magazine article supports Williams' earlier comments about the Occupy Movement that it actually represents "a widespread and deep exasperation with the financial establishment."
