Who is the new Archbishop of York after david Hope?

[edit] Archive on speculation
- After the retirement of David Hope in February 2005, initial speculation on his successor centered mainly on John Gladwin (Bishop of Chelmsford), Nigel McCulloch (Bishop of Manchester), and Richard Chartres (Bishop of London). On March 5, the Times of London in a leader ("Balanced ticket") endorsed Chartres, but noted that popular rumor suggested that he would be uninterested in leaving London and unlikely to accept nomination. The column praised Gladwin's skills as a leader and adminitrator but suggested that he would most likely be considered too openly "liberal." McCulloch therefore appeared to be the frontrunner.
- On June 12, the Times futher reported ("Black bishop on York shortlist") a list of five names which they claimed to be the Crown Nomination Commission's shortlist: McCulloch; Graham James (Bishop of Norwich); Michael Langrish (Bishop of Exeter); Tom Wright, (Bishop of Durham) — and John Sentamu (Bishop of Birmingham), the eventual choice. Whether this was indeed the commission's shortlist remains unknown, as well as whose was the second name they sent to the prime minister's office.
Just thought, for historical reasons, it would be a good idea to include the above back-story. Doops 18:19, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Matthew Hutton
There are two Matthew Huttons in the list, one 1595-1606 and one 1747-1757. Both link to the earlier one at the moment. Anybody got any ideas on the best way to disambiguate them? Rhion 12:38, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Manner of signing name
According to the Diocese of York website, Achbishop Sentamu signs himeself, "+Sentamu Ebor:", Sentamu being his "first Christian name". I have modified the text accordingly.

[edit] Primates' Meeting
Does the Archbishop of York (as Primate of England) attend the Primates' Meeting? I am wondering because if he doesn't then Rowan Williams is the first Abp. of Cant. to have been to the mtg before being so named (having been Primate of the Church in Wales), which is worth a mention in his article.

[edit] Numbering
I was confused by the inconsistent numbering. For instance, why aren't St. John of Beverley or John Dolben included in the numbering of the Johns, and why isn't John Gilbert numbered? I never heard nor read of John Habgood's being referred to as John VIII. Where does this numbering come from, please? --RobertG ♬ talk 10:54, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
