The Church of England took time out from pressurising the government to pay for the upkeep of its churches to announce that it will be spending an estimated £6 million on restoring a Bishop’s Palace so that Archbishop John Sentamu can have sumptuous new apartments. Mr Sentamu is presently living in a tent to show his solidarity with those displaced by the Middle East conflict. He often speaks out about how sorry he is that most of the world has to live in poverty. The Church of England has £5 billion in the bank.
