Archbishop Rowan's presidential address is widely available on the net already - in fact it was up almost as soon as he finished speaking - so I won't bore you with a blow-by-blow. You can read the text here or in a number of other places. However, here a couple of fragments that I wanted to record.
"Not all goods are comparable in a fallen world"
"Christian freedom is freedom from isolation - to be free is to be free for relation"
"The other we meet is the person he or she is, not the person we have created in our fantasies"
He's not always the easiest speaker to follow, but the effort is almost always worthwhile - and rewarded by small delights like the fragments above.
