St Paul’s Cathedral canon resigns

guardian:

“I resigned because I believe that the chapter has set on a course of action that could mean there will be violence in the name of the church.”

The canon chancellor of St Paul’s Catherdral, Dr Giles Fraser, on his resignation in protest at plans to forcibly remove demonstrators from its steps

Think what you will of the “Occupy” movement, but this man’s personal integrity is inspiring. Makes me proud of my Anglican heritage as a United Methodist.
