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.

Being admittedly biased, my issue with ++Rowan at this point is that I have given him so MANY chances, and he has stuffed them all up.

The ABC has not covered himself in glory at this point, but I'm almost wondering if the whole thing was made up to embarrass him and distract from the women bishops thing that is coming up in Synod (that my WATCH contact has emailed about encouraging emails to local synod members, that I haven't done yet... argh.)

I make myself read the Comments. And remind myself that these are the people whom the church has to reach, preach and love.
