Bishop Wright's position looks particularly invidious when compared with go-ahead clerics, such as the Bishop of Southwell and the Bishop of Ripon and Leeds, who are willing to move out of their homes in the face of criticism that they are living high on the hog.
The bishop argues this point cogently, pointing to the deep-rooted symbolic values of the Church which are often incarnated in awesome buildings, sculpture and pictures.
It only makes sense as a bishop's residence: the so-called Scotland wing is where the bishops' Scots prisoners were held; the state room holds a bishop's throne topped by a coat of arms supported by a crook and sword, indicating monarchical dominion over the bishops.

 Inclusive Church
THE former Bishop of Durham, Dr David Jenkins, has called for the worldwide Anglican Communion to be dissolved over the issue of homosexual bishops and gay blessings.
He was speaking as the worldwide Church prepares for possible schism over the election of the gay, divorced father of two Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire in the United States and the authorisation of a rite for same-sex blessings in New Westminster, Canada.
It would operate along similar lines to England’s “flying bishops”, ordained to be pastors to opponents of women priests.But Dr Jenkins said that Dr Williams should resist this call and insisted instead that the whole structure should be dissolved.

 DURHAM: Bishop says he cannot support same-sex blessings
The House of Bishops is anxious, as I am, not to pre-empt the wise and prayerful pastoral discernment necessary to help those who seek the church's support and guidance.
It is likely that some who register civil partnerships will seek some recognition of their new situation and pastoral support by asking members of the clergy to provide a blessing for them in the context of an act of worship.
Equally, though the Bishops do not wish to legislate for what happens in private pastoral situations, the intent of the Guidelines (to avoid any appearance of sanctioning 'gay weddings') should not be flouted in spirit any more than in letter.

On 21 Feb 1529-30, he was translated by the Pope from the Diocese of London to the more important See of Durham, a step which involved the assumption of quasi-regal power and authority within the bishopric.

And that, I'm afraid, is the measure of the Bishop of Durham as well.
