[Anglican Mainstream] 30 Mar 2009--It is cruel twist of fate. The day after Bishop Michael was praised so fervently in Parliament for his unwavering commitment to sound doctrine, he announces that he is stepping down early as Bishop of Rochester.
As a convert from Rome with strong views on Islam, he was never going to be appointed to Canterbury in this age of hypersensitivity to all things politically correct. But he will be a very great loss indeed. He will leave a vacuum in the church’s understanding of ‘multiculturalism’ and its grasp of Islamic theology and scholarship. He has been the voice of common sense on so many pressing issues, and has trodden where no other Anglican bishop has dared to. He will be sorely missed.
A spokesman for the bishop said that he wants to turn his attention to working with the persecuted church.
