  Diocese of Portsmouth
With this he made a start, and the eighteen years of his episcopate was a slow and steady growth in every department of diocesan life — the founding of new missions, the establishment of religious communities, and the gradual increase in the ranks of the clergy.
He was well known in all branches of public life, and at his death the esteem in which he was held by the people of the borough, was attested by their liberal subscriptions to his memorial chapel in the cathedral.
Bishop Cahill had been Rector of Ryde since 1868, and vicar-general of the diocese since its foundation, he was consecrated coadjutor (titular of Thagora) only three weeks before the death of Bishop Virtue.

 Press Releases - Bishop of Portsmouth's sermon at consecration of new bishop of Cashel and Ossory (25 January 2003)
Bishops have used these symbols for centuries, and each has an unnerving knack of coming to life on every piece of new terrain where the gospel has had to be preached.
But the bishop’s teaching ministry usually sits uneasily at that point of tension between the internal life of the Church, which can be too absorbing for all of us, and the life of the world, with its questions, its frustrations, its determination to write us off as no more than part of the heritage industry.
Bishops are human beings, fragile just like the rest of the world – and they have to live the ‘and yet’ of the Good News every day, realizing that God still dwells among us, and is able to use us.

 Bishop dismayed at Government dropping church school PFI scheme | Church of England
The Right Reverend Dr Kenneth Stevenson, Bishop of Portsmouth, chairman of the Church of England Board of Education and of the National Society, has expressed dismay at a Government decision to pull out of a scheme for rebuilding time-expired Church of England primary and secondary schools using the private finance initiative (PFI).
He recognised that the Government was currently making much more grant aid available to voluntary aided Church of England schools than any of its predecessors but asked for a detailed explanation of the Government's change of policy and for a guarantee about funding for church school building work for the future.
The Bishop said, "It seems that the Government has concluded that a pure PFI scheme could not be made to work for voluntary schools and that they would always have depended on government grant.

Authority is the Anglican buzzword in the wake of Bishop V. Gene Robinson's consecration.
The bishop said he has read such demands in the newspapers, but has heard no official word from the lay leaders of the church and could not say how the church's wishes would factor into his decision on a replacement.
Williams said the consecration of a gay bishop was the inevitable result of this democratic approach to morality, and the people who founded Trinity saw it coming long before the 1988 split.
