If true it means that 97 year old Henry Moore (wiki) and 95 year old David Galliford (wiki) are the last surviving Church of England bishops who served during WWII. David Galliford (wiki), Bishop of Hulme (1975–1984) and Bolton (1984–1991) dead at 96. I forgot to include Ted Luscombe (wiki), 97, above. So him and Henry Moore (wiki), 98, are the last two surviving CoE bishops who served in WWII. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,114 Posted January 20, 2022 There have been two notable buddhist monk deaths during the last days but Thích Nhất Hạnh and influential Zen Buddhist monk Thích Thanh Từ are still somehow alive. How long will these two (especially Thich Nhat Hanh who has been dying for years) keep circling the drain? Forever? Both wheelchair-bound, almost unable to move at all and atleast Nhat Hanh can't even talk (not sure if Tu can). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomTomTelekom 3,594 Posted January 21, 2022 Sad news. Seems he was a kind person, who has founded dozens of schools and universities and has published over 100 books. Throughout his life he has fought against slavery, war and violence around the world, and has been renowned for decades for his peaceful pursuits. In the 60's, he worked heavily with Martin Luther King on issues regarding the Vietnam war. RIP, with 95 years he reached a good age. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
