  1. Better late than never...

    Now we can spend the next 9 months speculating on how much worse his successor will be!

  2. Indeed, my expectations for the succession are very low. The Guardian is already speculating that either ++Sentamu of York or +Chartres of London will be the next Canterbury.

  3. We've come a long way from the days when ++Michael Ramsey was actually out ahead of the UK government on the legal emancipation of gays and lesbians.

  4. Who is on the Crown Nominating Commission?

    If they nominate +York, the CoE is officially dead. Over at Mimi's, Lapin said that +Chartres has never ordained a woman-wonder how that will fly?

    In my dreams, they pick Jeffrey John. ;-)

    (Giles Frazier would be great too...)

  5. Poor Magdalen College, is all I can say.
