Hurried Revision[edit]

This article has been badly edited and a lot of obvious rubbish has been inserted into it plus some unreferenced assertions which might just contain a grain of truth. The reasons for Neill's resignation of his bishopric in India are far from clear. I will try and eliminate the errors and unsubstantiated claims now and so to impose basic order on the article and next week will work on some of the delicate points so far as my sources allow next week. Some general references may have to wait till then as well. Jpacobb (talk) 17:08, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
