		If we define elite athletes or musicians or universities as those achieving world-class standards of high performance but elitism as the pernicious mindset which regards those outside such an elite as being of inferior moral worth, then an elite university need not be elitist.

	Durham's blessed bishop \| Dt Leaders \| Opinion \| Telegraph
		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.
