In a break with centuries of tradition, Church Commissioners wanted to move the home from the medieval palace to allow Rt Revd Peter Hancock more privacy.
The Church said commissioners failed to anticipate the impact their decision to re-house the Bishop would have on those living in and around the diocese. Senior Chaplain and advisor to the Bishop, Revd Stephen Lynas, tells Premier he never really understood why the move was suggested in the first place.
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
