 Forward in Faith UK - The London Plan
Episcopal oversight shall be exercised by the said Bishop of London or Stepney, or Kensington, or Willesden, or Edmonton and the Bishops pledge themselves to exercise such Episcopal oversight fairly and justly regardless of gender, or of the differing beliefs and positions concerning the ordination of women to the priesthood.
Because the London Plan is between six bishops, the original deeds stated that the declaration was intended to bind successors in title until rescinded by the Bishop of London and a majority of the suffragan bishops.
The Bishops acknowledge the function of the Bishop of London as Ordinary and as the focus of unity within the Diocese.

With a preface by the Bishop of London.
This help Bishop King gave to me, and I have no doubt to thousands of others; but as one humble member of those thousands I am pleased to have been allowed to lay this little tribute at his feet.
When you want to be like Jesus Christ in all the complicated details of a bishop's life it is an enormous help to have an example before your eyes of one who more completely represents "the attractiveness of goodness" than any one else you had ever met.

 Bishop of London outlines gay policy to Reform:
He told them he would act to "uphold the discipline of the church" and revealed that he had already removed a gay priest from his post.
He has restated the policy of the House of Bishops based on "Issues in Human Sexuality", but has said he won't "start" witch hunts; which means that he will act, but only if circumstances are brought to his attention.
Many live with their companions, often describing them as "lodgers".

 The Tyndale Society Journal no. 17: A Tale of Two Packingtons
It is the Bishop of London that hath holpen us, for he hath bestowed among us a great deal of money upon the Testaments to burn them.
We know from many sources that the early 16th-century merchants of London were particularly interested in helping forward the reformation of England, but two of them, the Packingtons, were more involved than most, it seems.
It does throw a fascinating sidelight on Bishop Tunstall of London though, the most lenient of the conservative bishops when it came to harrying Protestant heretics.

 ORB - Medieval English urban history - Maldon - Government
In 1446, Maldon's fee farm was being paid to the Bishop of London and to Robert Darcy esq., who had apparently taken over the FitzWalter lordship, although the FitzWalters continued to own property there.
It seems likely that this was part of a deliberate challenge to or evasion of those rights, during the course of which the townsmen had set afire some of the bishop's parkland.
In 1287 the bishop and the king (as guardian of the underage heir of the other lordship of the town) were suing the townsmen for infringing various traditional lordly rights.

 Personal View: Richard Chartres, Bishop of London
Richard Chartres, Bishop of London, is a member of the Honorary Committee of the Religion, Science and Environment Symposium.
Botanizing parsons in the English tradition of Gilbert White to W. Keble Martin have combined an intense love for nature with a scientific rigour, but Christian theology during the same period has progressively abandoned the realms of nature and history in favour of a preoccupation with questions of personhood and personal relations.
