It is a crying shame that the Church of England has not recognised her talents more. This is a class act indeed: a big personality who can fill a big space,a confident and competent administrator who would be distinguished in any walk of life, an energetic and visionary leader, but most of all a thoughtful and caring priest. She is a real grown up, and you don't meet many of those!<br />Posted by John Pitt-brooke at Thursday, 27 April 2017 at 5:10pm BST<br /><br />Might Mr Pitt-brooke wish to reconsider?1662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-41229613716469686222017-12-20T12:02:47.032+00:002017-12-20T12:02:47.032+00:00Bishops and cardinals have been experts in cover-u...Bishops and cardinals have been experts in cover-ups for years.<br />They hate the disinfection provided by a 'Spotlight' on their activities.<br />Here's another example.<br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42421423<br />Cardinal Bernard Law: Disgraced US cardinal dies in RomeLux Et Veritasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-18085380059192051132017-12-19T11:11:16.886+00:002017-12-19T11:11:16.886+00:00Pondering Pastor: o the joy of Christmas's pre...Pondering Pastor: o the joy of Christmas's present in the Anglican Church, I sense a spirit of bar humbug on the horizon.<br />As for appointing a women to London, that was probably a foregone hierarchy decision sometime ago. <br />As for the "Green Saga" it is sounding very dodgy indeed, a bishop doesn't rant like a fish wife, I just hope it's not a taste of the future. Even the worst of elderly parishioners (and I've met a few) need to be gently handled after all shepherds don't clobber sheep with there crook. If this is to be believed then it's beyond and unbecoming in a pastor. I'm sure the elderly are fleeing the green for other parishes.

It was all over llandaff yesterday. she apparently accused two elderly regulars of leaking the story about the dodgy organ accounts, and the lies in the glove puppet’s leaked nasty letter about the same, to Martin Shipton. Did it in a manner unbecoming of a decent human being let alone a bishop. Her chaplain was also involved as some sort of chaperone, perhaps on the basis June can’t trust herself to have a civilized conversation, but why a stop wasn’t put to the shouting tirade only the chaplain can answer. Around llandaff the most common reaction is (a) disgust that June was so foul mouthed to two elderly members of her own flock and (b) why on earth she has fallen for the constant steam of lies emanating from the glove puppet’s mouth<br /><br />If she spent more time choosing auditors to investigate the organ appeal and less time playing “hunt the mole” and protecting her discredited subordinate (by screaming hysterically at elderly parishioners), perhaps she would get a bit further along. As it is, she has completely turned a congregation who were broadly quite supportive of her to one which is horrified at her unpriestly behaviourSnowmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-63794948569712810932017-12-18T12:00:23.645+00:002017-12-18T12:00:23.645+00:00So the gloves are off and the Sarum wench has deci...So the gloves are off and the Sarum wench has decided to employ bully boy --Bazza's MO of throwing around a load of accusations and putting about a bit of episcopal stick?<br />Rather than behave as Christ she has taken upon herself the role of Caiaphas.<br /><br />One hopes there was a dictaphone present or t least some witness.<br /><br />Despite the claims of her taking no prisoners and being a new broom, it hasn't taken very long for the Llandaff swamp to entice her in and overwhelm her with it's poison.Episkoposnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-45606203757182572152017-12-18T11:23:09.121+00:002017-12-18T11:23:09.121+00:00It's a woman!It's a woman!Llechrydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-53281813500375688622017-12-18T10:08:49.743+00:002017-12-18T10:08:49.743+00:00When I was in his diocese of Chelmsford I never he...When I was in his diocese of Chelmsford I never heard a dud sermon from Bishop Stephen.
