arghton 6,684 Posted October 25 Another ailing ISKCON guru: Giriraj Swami (wiki) diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. According to coffintease Jayapataka Swami he's also underwent some surgery recently. Quite a suprise as I've followed that generation of Hare Krishna gurus for deadpooling reasons a year or two now, and not long ago he seemed almost the healthiest of the bunch. There's around fifteen of them of that generation left with Wikipedia pages, most notably maybe Mukunda Goswami who introduced ISKCON to the UK, got George Harrison into the group and was present when Harrison died.

Bibliogryphon 9,563 Posted November 12 It will be interesting to see who replaces Welby as the See of Durham is currently vacant, The Archbishop of London is a woman (but also youngest of the big three). That leaves The Archbishop of York - Stephen Cottrell (b.1958) and Th Archbishop of Winchester - Philip Mountstephen (b.1959) Though previous incumbents have been Translated from less prestigious Diocese 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,112 Posted November 12 Cottrell came and spoke at our parish church once, when he was Bishop of Reading. I forget what the occasion was (I am not a believer and only go to special services like Harvest Festival - nostalgia really) but he was rather good fun as I recall. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Watcher 313 Posted November 12 Apart from Welby's shocking lack of action over a paedophile QC (establishment cover-up possibly?), it should also be remembered that he personally supported Paula Vennells when she was amazingly on a shortlist of three to be Bishop of London!! This is despite her neglible previous priestly experience. Bishop Ball (whose twin brother was also Bishop Ball) was a convicted abuser who seemed to be a personal confidant of the former Prince of Wales who seems a very poor judge of character. A final point - it seems a surprise that abuser John Smyth QC was married with a family - did none of them ever realise what was happening as the abuse not only occurred on church camps but also in his house. He moved country twice as concerns were being raised - how did he explain these moves to his wife? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
