		"St Chad's, at the north-east end of the city, close to the extensive pool of Stowe Mill, is the oldest church in Lichfield, being founded at a date long prior to the Cathedral.

	St. Chad's, Lichfield - St. Chad, our Patron
		Chad’s reply revealed his deep humility: “If you know I have not duly received episcopal ordination, I willingly resign the office, for I never thought myself worthy of it; but, though unworthy, in obedience submitted to undertake it.” Moved by this reply, Theodore completed Chad’s consecration according to Roman rites.
		Chad then summoned his monks and, after urging them to live good Christian lives and to continue in keeping the rules of monastic discipline, announced that he was soon to die.
		Chad was quickly taken ill and on the seventh day (2nd March, 672), ‘his holy soul was released from the prison-house of the body and, one may rightly believe, was taken by the angels to the joys of heaven’.

		Chad was a medieval cleric who was born sometime around 620 AD and served as the first bishop of Lichfield from 669-672 (he has a shrine in Lichfield Cathedral although his shinbone somehow ended up in Birmingham Cathedral 20 miles away).
		He suggested that St. Chad could perhaps be regarded as the patron saint of electoral disputes.

	At the Edge archive: St Chad's Well, Lichfield
		The ancient parish church of St Chad at Stowe, Lichfield, is an interesting historic building, traditionally thought to stand upon the site of a small monastic settlement established there by St Caedda, better known by its latinised rendering as Chad.
		Chad was brought up and trained for the priesthood of the Celtic Church, considered schismatical by the Roman Catholic Church, which strove to suppress it, eventually succeeding in doing so at the Synod of Whitby in 664 CE.
		In addition, he held Chad's episcopal consecration to be defective, so he was sent packing back to Lastingham, where he had been abbot of a monastery founded by his brother.

		All accounts of his life are based on that given by Venerable Bede, who had been instructed in Holy Scripture by Trumberct, one of St. Chad's monks and disciples.

		St. Theodorus was so impressed with Chad's sportsmanship, he overturned his original decision and awarded York to him.
		Chad was duly inaugurated (or consecrated, as they called it in those days) and Wilfrid retired to a monastery where he played golf (or the seventh-century equivalent thereof) and baptized heathen Vikings.
		St. Chad obviously never saw a butterfly ballot or a punch-card ballot, and he probably wouldn't be thrilled to share a name with a little piece of paper designed to be popped out and discarded.

		Chad, it turns out, lived in the wild and woolly half-Christianized England of the seventh century, and his life story is preserved in the laconic Latin of the Venerable Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People.
		Chad’s tenure as bishop of Mercia was a highly successful one, though it lasted only two and a half years before the plague claimed him as well.
		According to Bede, Chad was buried in “a wooden coffin in the shape of a little house, having an aperture in its side, through which those who visit it out of devotion can insert their hands and take out a little of the dust.” The dust, mixed with water, was said to cure the sick.

		Chad served for a time as a priest in Ireland but was recalled to run an abbey in Yorkshire.
		Their consecration of Chad was therefore ruled improper because technically those doing the anointing were deemed to be out of communion with the Church.
		Chad had not been elected to the post he'd usurped, hence any claims his "resignation" stemmed from his stepping aside after a disputed election are fatuous.
