Dean’s comments on Occupy at St Paul's

From Mr Robin Swaddling

Sir, — So, the “New Dean resets agenda for St Paul’s” (News, 9 March), saying that “The Church’s role is to help people recognise reality in all sorts of ways. . .”

I can only assume that by the time he had finished having a pop at Occupy, there was no space left to report his views on the banking and finance sector.

It appears that a young David Horton MBE has presented himself for ordination, moved from Dibley, and been appointed at the cathedral. Heaven help us all.
