Another dear friend departed this life this week. Bishop Kenneth, here photographed with his wife Rev Juliet on their silver wedding anniversary. I taught their daughter, Catherine, cello and piano but they became more than just parents of one of my pupils. They were very supportive friends to me through some of my toughtest times.

He died on Monday aged 84.

He had a wonderful sense of humour and was a terrific public speaker. He was instrumental in bringing in the ordination of women priests in the Church of England. Some say he would have been Archbishop of Canterbury had his first wife's death from cancer not happened around the time that post became vacant.

My condolences - I didn't know about him but the obituary brought me up to date.

I have known a few bishops in my time though.

My sincere condolences.
I read the obituary with great interest and was extremely impressed.
He touched many and his legacy will live on within the Church.
May you always remember him with great fondness and happiness.
