MEATH – Bishop of Down’s role?

George Conger, an established evangelical commentator on Anglican Communion news and current affairs, is a regular contributor to the weekly Church of England Newspaper.

In ths week’s issue of CEN he states, “Bishop Harold Miller of Down and Dromore was not able to attend the January election meeting, but subsequently wrote to the bishops expressing his concern. The fracas will likely have wider implications sources tell CEN and may haunt the archbishop, Dr. Clarke, who had full knowledge of the archdeacon’s past.”

CNI notes that Bishop Miller’s concerns do not appear to have been referred to in any subsequent statement by the Church of Ireland.
