Grrrr.

Of course, since both leaks clearly came from someone on the conservative wing who wanted to make mischief, it's premature to decide that It's All Rowan's Fault - though I see Changing Attitudes already has.

But still, grr. It would be a great shame, on more than one level, if a man of Fr Jeffrey John's calibre remains the best bishop we never had (and God knows the C of E desperately needs good bishops).

ETA: you know what I said about not reading comments on CiF? It also applies to the Torygraph.

Ah yes, could be York. (Which would work rather nicely as Starbridge, actually, given some of the hair-raising tales I've heard from my best friend, who is an ex-chorister.)

I seem to have Starbridge=Salisbury so fixed in my mind that seeing your icon was akin to seeing a photo of X, who is going to play Y in the film of your favourite book, and thinking 'What? Surely Y is a brunette!' or whatever. But none the worse for that!
