Another Sort Of Story About Canterbury
This seems apt, given that today is the Feast of William Temple, who was Archbishop during the Second World War. This story, however, is about a more contemporary Archbishop of Canterbury and includes a bit of a mystery; one that is aided by a scuba diver with the uncanny ability to assign motive without the clumsy need of corroborating evidence. Come to think of it, a weird religious practice would be a good way for the divers to sell their story for publication and, maybe, a reality series.
Bishop’s rare gifts immersed in river mystery
My favorite quote: "But Gary Bankhead does not believe a robbery was involved. Based on the location of the finds, he has concluded that Ramsey himself probably dropped the items into the river."
Thanks, "Kreskin".
