The diocese of Hallam at last has a new bishop-elect. Not much seems to be known about him and he hasn't set the traditionalist blogosphere alight, but as our parish priest said this morning, he's a Redemptorist so he should know how to preach.
Well, that's a start. A proactive, evangelising bishop is just what this rather stagnant diocese needs. One who, like bishop Egan of Portsmouth, will preach the Gospel irrespective of criticism and do his best to be a humble and orthodox shepherd. One who will not be complacent about the problems within the Church.We have a few such bishops already, may bishop Heskett be one of them.
