[Telegraph] 7 Aug 2008--One more tale from the Lambeth Conference before the phrase "once-a-decade gathering of Anglican bishops" is mothballed until 2018.

I had been told last week that there was an impostor on the campus, who had got in by assuming another bishop's identity and was merrily contributing to his Indaba group under a false name.

Well the good news is that I've discovered who the phantom bishop is. But unfortunately the story doesn't quite live up to its billing as the episcopal version of Day of the Jackal.

It turns out that it was the C of E's very own John Saxbee, the Bishop of Lincoln, who arrived at the University of Kent with three weeks' worth of purple shirts only to discover that the organisers weren't expecting him.
