  1. Good to see a degree of openness about the appointment process.

    I would nominate John Richardson - if he wasn't so old. :)

  2. Now I read this:

    "Richard Inwood has oversight of 150 parishes in Luton and Bedfordshire, under the direction of the Bishop of St Albans. He succeeds the Rt Revd John Richardson, who retired in July after more than eight years as Bishop."

    If 2 George Bushes were god enough for America ...

    That's better. Firefox works better than IE.

    My nomination of you for ABC would only happen if you made it to Norman Tebbitt's cabinet. Sadly, that might not happen.
