FAREWELLS
THE Archbishop of Canterbury said that they had hoped to have Sheila Cameron with them in order to say goodbye to her as Dean of the Arches, but unfortunately an accident had prevented this. He hoped it might be possible to persuade her to come to York in July, so that they could say “a public farewell to one of the Church of England’s very greatest servants”. The Bishop of Peterborough, the Rt Revd Ian Cundy, had achieved great distinction in education, ecumenism — and engineering. Since 1998, Bishop Cundy had chaired the Council for Christian Unity with stamina and enthusiasm. In his recent illness, all the prayer for him and his wife “has been an index of the very great affection, appreciation, and, I think I’d say, unqualified trust” in which he was held. Education had been a mark of the life of the Bishop of Carlisle, the Rt Revd Graham Dow, too. He had “given great energy and imagination to deepening and strengthening the ministry of lay people in our church”, particularly as chairman of the Central Readers’ Council, and a true champion for Cumbria. |
