An Anglican bishop has quit in order to join the Roman Catholic Church after what he said was ‘among the most testing periods of my life’.
Jonathan Goodall, 60, had been Bishop of Ebbsfleet for eight years.
Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, accepted the resignation with regret and expressed gratitude for ‘many years of faithful service’.
