From Mr Stephen Hogg
Sir, - In recent months, I have had cause to write to the
Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, and the Acting
Bishop of Southwell & Nottingham. I can report only that it is
a waste of time.
In each case, I was seeking clarification on how the House of
Bishops statement on same-sex marriage would be applied.
A reply finally came from Canterbury saying that the Archbishop
was too busy to reply to the questions I asked. York has yet even
to acknowledge my letter, a month after it was sent. Southwell
& Nottingham replied after two reminders had been sent,
advising me that the Bishop would not reply to my questions.
Is this how our bishops communicate?
