Famous quotes containing the words anglican and/or bishop:
“I am fifty-two years of age. I am a bishop in the Anglican Church, and a few people might be constrained to say that I was reasonably responsible. In the land of my birth I cannot vote, whereas a young person of eighteen can vote. And why? Because he or she possesses that wonderful biological attribute—a white skin.”
—Desmond Tutu (b. 1931)
“A psychiatrist is a man who goes to the Folies-Bergère and looks at the audience.”
—Mervyn, Bishop Stockwood (b. 1913)
