'Saturday 1st June Bishop Reuben Tariambari offered his resignation as Bishop of Popondota to the House of Bishops, and his resignation was
accepted. Bishop Reuben told the House of Bishops that he had found the task of administering a large and complex diocese such as the Diocese
of Popondota too much for his capabilities, and that he felt it was in the best interests of the diocese and the province that he should resign.
He will remain in the bishop's house at Popondetta until the end of June, and will then return to the Manau area with his family. The Vicar
General, Fr Patrick Piriri, will administer the diocese until the election of a new Diocesan Bishop, which will probably take place in September
or October'.

Worth Noting
The Bishops, by Trevor Beeson,
a review in The Spectator: Through its charming portraits of a number of dead bishops, Beeson's new book suggests that colourful prelates
are indeed an Anglican heritage.

review, in the same journal, of Bradley's book on this subject.
