From the Bishop of Antsiranana
Sir, - The cartoon that heads the
article by Ted Harrison, "Uneasy lies the head that wears the
mitre" (
Comment 28 September), shows a health-and-safety official
handing over a hard hat to a bemused Archbishop's secretary,
saying: "In view of the statistics, I'm afraid the traditional
mitre must make way for more practical headgear."
If he had visited Archbishop George
Carey in his Lambeth Palace study, his eye might have caught sight
of two - or was it three? - such hard hats perched on top of the
glass-fronted bookcase.
