 Talk:Archbishop of York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the retirement of David Hope in February 2005, initial speculation on his successor centered mainly on John Gladwin (Bishop of Chelmsford), Nigel McCulloch (Bishop of Manchester), and Richard Chartres (Bishop of London).
On March 5, the Times of London in a leader ("Balanced ticket") endorsed Chartres, but noted that popular rumor suggested that he would be uninterested in leaving London and unlikely to accept nomination.
On June 12, the Times futher reported ("Black bishop on York shortlist") a list of five names which they claimed to be the Crown Nomination Commission's shortlist: McCulloch; Graham James (Bishop of Norwich); Michael Langrish (Bishop of Exeter); Tom Wright, (Bishop of Durham) — and John Sentamu (Bishop of Birmingham), the eventual choice.

 IRISHANGLE NETWORK NEWS | Chelmsford clergy declare broken sacramental fellowship with their bishop
Moreover, the bishops have, by doing so, distanced themselves from their own clergy who adhere to the teaching and practices affirmed at the Lambeth Conference in 1998 and reaffirmed since then by numerous local and international reports and statements including those of our own House of Bishops.
Moreover, if the bishops were to continue along the same path, of closer identification with the Canadian and US churches, they would find the same unhappy divisions that exist in north American rapidly being duplicated here.
They are furious that the bishop and five of his colleagues sent a letter to a national newspaper earlier this week announcing their determined support for liberal Anglicans in North America.

Chelmsford is believed to have been among the top four contenders to be England’s newest City, from a field of more than 30 applicants, and all those involved agree that Chelmsford has the qualities, enthusiasm and vibrancy needed to be a city.
More than 200 organisations had given their backing to the bid when it was submitted in August of last year, and the support extended to sponsorship of all the main elements of the campaign.
Chelmsford has been recognised as the County Town of Essex since 1218 and has been Britain’s second-largest diocese since 1914 – and yet Chelmsford still remains the only historic County Town in England with a cathedral which is NOT a city.

The dissidents had a rather poor time of it, the more so as the Bishop kept saying that he welcomed dialogue with the group, would be replying to their letter and would continue to meet with them.
And then six Bishops then saw the need to make a personal public statement - which must by definition have added to or taken away from all that came before it - or else it was totally and utterly pointless - and would have been better made by the whole House of Bishops again.
