Once upon a time, when I was discussing my intention to become a Catholic, an Anglican bishop I knew well sniffed with some practised episcopal elegance and said, “I get just as many coming the other way; it’s just that we don’t crow about it.”
In the last few days the Catholic Church issued a press release informing the world that former Catholic priest Fr Stephen Maughan had, after a long period of discernment, decided to become an Anglican and was being given a job “to continue his ministry” in the Anglican diocese of York.
