		That Hume was not such an outsider to the British Establishment was demonstrated by the fact that Sir John (later Lord) Hunt, already Secretary to the British Cabinet and Head of the Home Civil Service, was married to Hume’s sister Madeleine.
		Hume was a member of the Council for Christian Unity in Rome, and the work of the Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission in overcoming differences both pleased and surprised him.

		George Hume was born in Newcastle in 1923, the son of a Scottish Protestant Sir William Errington Hume, CMG, FRCP, a prominent heart physician and Marie Elisabeth (née Tisseyre).
		Abbot Basil was concerned to open the monastic doors to spirituality for the laity and for families and a consequence of this was a much greater family feel about the place, not least girls and women providing balance to the masculinity of the monastery and school.
		Yet Abbot Basil was able to forge a close relationship with Ireland and its people initially through links with the large Irish contingent who for much of the middle decades of the century sent their children to be educated at the College.

		Contrary to what one might expect, this collection of tributes to Cardinal Basil Hume, Archbishop of Westminster, was not hastily assembled after his recent death, but written when he was still very much alive and when there was as yet no public knowledge of the cancer which was to cause his death.
		A strong leader who expected to be obeyed, Basil Hume was open, flexible, a ready listener, who maintained his personal friendships with monks from across the spectrum of opinion, showing special care and affection for those who were finding the changes most difficult and disturbing.
		As abbot and archbishop, Basil Hume was able to maintain unity because he couldn’t be labelled of the right or the left, but rather a person of prayer with a profound sensitivity to those who might feel marginalised by the Church.
