The Archbishop of York, the Most Rev Dr John Sentamu, has welcomed the announcement by Prime Minister Gordon Brown regarding changes to the process by which diocesan bishops are appointed.
Prime Minister Brown unveiled a range of constitutional changes on Wednesday that will see a change to the way that bishops in the Church of England are appointed.
Dr Sentamu said that the Church had been given advance warning of the proposed changes. He welcomed the plans, which he said were in accord with the ‘declared wish of the Church of England’.
