A fact from Donald Allister appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 November 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the next Bishop of Peterborough, Donald Allister, hit the headlines in the UK in 2001 when it was reported that he had banned a couple from having the hymn "Jerusalem" at their wedding?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/November.

Reminder[edit]

Add a box about Bishops of Peterborough after his enthronement. See foot of the page about his predecessor Ian Cundy. DFH (talk) 13:32, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. DFH (talk) 14:19, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Church Society[edit]

While he was at Cheadle, Donald Allister was also chairman of the Church Society. Need to check exact dates. DFH (talk) 14:26, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Views on baptism etc[edit]

Other than the brief mention in the Guardian interview cited in the article, Allister's views on baptism for children born to unmarried couples were apparently set out in a Telegraph article of 26 April 2000. However, I've only been able to find this reproduced on this website http://www.baptism.org.uk/unmarried.htm - I've not been able to track down the original via any resource available to me, and I odn't think that's really a good enough source. This article http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?storyCode=164437&sectioncode=26 also refers to his views on sex outside marriage as being "forthright".
