Colleges

[edit]

The obituaries in the Church Times and the Independent both say that the theological college he went to was St John's Highbury. Although I have enlarged the article by reference to these obituaries, I have not altered the text which refers to the London College of Divinity. --MWLittleGuy (talk) 12:37, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Most Reverend

[edit]

The recent change has drawn my attention to the infobox. This is most peculiar. Instead of naming him as the Most Reverend the Archbishop of Uganda, it merely gives his latest job before retirement. I am sure Leslie would not have minded, but I am not as large-minded as he is. If we are going to pay attention to these meaningless honorifics, let us pay proper attention to them. --Martin Wyatt (talk) 20:17, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the Most Reverend article its says that In some provinces (notably the Church of England), retired archbishops usually revert to being styled "The Right Reverend", although the article does not have any sources. Crockford's Clerical Directory's website says in its How to address the clergy that A retired archbishop properly reverts to the status of bishop, but may be given as a courtesy the style of an archbishop.
