...diocese is said to be on the boil," says the Rt. Rev. Mervyn Stockwood, Bishop of Southwark. "If that is so, I accept it as a compliment. Boiling water is better than tepid. It can cleanse and generate power." Measured against British coolness to the Anglican faith (of 27 million baptized members, only 3,000,000 are registered on parish rolls), the Diocese of Southwark is indeed bubbling. And Bishop Stockwood, 50, a charming and worldly man in whom humility coexists with vanity, gives it another stir almost daily. In the process, he has become perhaps the most storied bishop...

There was much leap-dancing and yelling around a campfire. During the evening Fuller-Sandys had a chance to open a letter delivered to him earlier...
...miracles, by his death redeemed man, and rose again to heaven, where he "sitteth on the right hand of God." So say the Bible and the Christian creeds; but since the story makes no sense to many literal, science-minded men. the Right Rev. John A. T. Robinson. 43, Anglican Bishop of Woolwich, accommodatingly explains in a new book that the doctrine is mostly dubious.
