Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

6 Dec 05, 12:00 AM - A signing Archbishop!

Posted by Crippled Monkey

OK, so I'll admit that it's not often I grab stories from the Church Times, but a small but crucial reference in their story about last week's enthronement of the new Archbishop of York, The Rt Rev John Sentamu, caught my eye. Seems that when it came to all his key speeches, the Archbishop not only spoke them but also signed everything he said for deaf and hearing impaired people too. Cool. Crippled Monkey says "Big up the Bish!" Or, er, maybe not . . .
