York Minster saga episodes continue this week in the CEN:
Edward Norman joins Rome after Anglican disillusionment
But he will still be on the CofE payroll until his retirement date in May.
and
Dean denies awarding himself a pay rise
Actually, it’s not the dean’s salary that worries me here.
Minster accounts for 2002/3 show that Dean Furnell’s salary was then £26,300, augmentation £6,124 and pension contributions £8,294 — a total of £40,718. The four other priest-canons got totals of up to £31,397. And a lay canon — cathedral chapter steward Peter Lyddon — had a swingeing total of £63,729. This is £3,000 more than the pay of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Posted by Simon Sarmiento on Sunday, 29 February 2004 at 5:24 PM GMT | TrackBackThe whole business of the re appointment of Edward Norman to the York Chapter is an absolute disgrace and the Archbishop and the then Dean ought to be ashamed of themselves for this appointment. Edward Norman has been at York for his own selfish ends and the Church of England will not be at a loss to see him go.
