Crown appointment of bishops

The Church Times has handily published some correspondence from 1960 between the PM and his Appointments Secretary, relating to a series of impending episcopal appointments, including Michael Ramsey's move to Canterbury and Coggan's to York.
See David Stephens to Harold Macmillan, 7 September 1960: it may save someone a trip to the National Archives.

Rowan's Rule

I note early review reactions to Rupert Shortt's new biography of Rowan Williams: from Anthony Howard in the Tablet, and A.N. Wilson in the TLS. Both are interesting for their passing reflections on the office of Archbishop.
