Hope the Archbishop: A Portrait
No Customer Reviews
David Hope holds the second highest office in the Church of England. He was considered one of the very brightest stars in the Anglican firmament--intelligent, holy, and brilliant at sorting out problems. His rise through the dioceses of Wakefield and London to York was rapid. Firmly established in the Catholic wing of the Church of England, he has always been resolutely opposed to the ordination of women; he is unmarried and a man of prayer. He hit the headlines on the eve of his appointment to York, having been hounded for many months by Peter Tatchell as head of the list of twenty Anglican bishops that Tatchell was determined to out, Hope preempted Tatchell by calling a press conference. He announced that he was celibate and that his sexuality is a 'gray area.' This got him off the hook and his appointment to York was announced shortly thereafter. Hope is in many ways disenchanted with the Church of England, and with its Anglo-Catholic branch which he finds to be retrogressive, despite the fact that it looks to him as its leader. Hope is using the book to put forth some of his ideas in a way that the burden of office would not allow him to do.
