[Albion] Bishop of Whitby Albion Fan

DavidinSouthampton · Nov 12, 2024

https://dioceseofyork.org.uk/bishop...evd Barry Hill will,of Whitby on 10th October.

i read this morning on Facebook that the new Bishop of Whitby is an Albion Fan. Sure enough, googling came up with this - his introduction to the Diocese of York, which includes mention of the mighty Seagulls. He apparently has the club crest on his robes!

God is on our side! …… and the below is not implying that TB is God!

A future half time guest at the Amex? Or maybe he could bless the team before KO!

I usually get mine from Cassocks of Hassocks, there’s where I got my Potter Cotter.

Wonder if he's the first Barry the Bishop? Perhaps it's just me, but Barry just doesn't sound like a name for a bishop!

The (very compassionate, friendly and quite lovely man) vicar who gave my father’s funeral was Fr. Keith Richards!

I'm sure someone will come along on NSC to highlight how bad this is.

We all know there are plenty of people on here who like to bash the bishop

He’s from Shoreham, went to the Goldstone, and Withdean. He admits praying when we were 1-0 down at Hereford.

Brighton & Hove Albion: No rules on praying for my team, says bishop

Bishop Barry Hill included the seagull from the Brighton crest on his cope when he was consecrated.

Well his prayers were answered at Edgar Street, which proved one thing, there IS a God!

I used to know a Barry the Methodist Minister.

One day he was cursing and swearing in the pub about Leeds (he was a Man United fan) - and I pointed out that the bible's teachings were all about 'Goodwill to All Men'. He responded by saying that the bible might say 'goodwill to all men', but it didn't add 'and Leeds United'.....

Barry is from Shoreham and went to school in Hove. I knew his younger brother. He found God in his teenage years.

He used to go to the Goldstone and also the Withdean before moving up north.

I think that an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alb would be more appropriate wear. Perhaps with blue rather than purple trim.
