| | The bishop's sermon was short, though he managed to incorporate references to St Athanasius, the fourth century bishop of Alexandria, and the Roman writer Pliny in the course of a five-minute address on the Christian witness to the meaning of Easter. | | | The Pakistan-born bishop, baptised a Methodist and educated at a Catholic school, where he considered training for the Catholic priesthood, is now the favoured candidate for Canterbury of the Evangelical wing of the Church of England. | | | A more media-wise or worldly bishop might have made more than a passing reference to the death of the Queen Mother, referred to only briefly in the context that it was a "particularly appropriate time" to remember her on the morning of the anniversary of the resurrection. |
