 | | He was still engaged in environmental issues last year, when he was forced to resign from the board of Friends of the Earth (of which he had been chairman from 1992 to 1998) after promoting the use of nuclear power in the fight against global warming. |
 | | Imagin- ing that a bishop so hot on environmental issues would cause trouble at the Austin Rover factory at Longbridge, the Birmingham Evening Mail orchestrated a chorus of disapproval, to which assorted Anglo-Catholic clergy, and the future MP, Anthony Beaumont-Dark, all lent their voices. |
 | | On his retirement from Birmingham, Montefiore was asked to act as an honorary assistant bishop in the diocese of Southwark, and he and Elisabeth returned to the house on Wandsworth Common, south London, where he had lived as bishop of Kingston. |
