[8] Mitgliedschaft im House of Lords [ Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten ] Yet, somehow, as Kirker prepares to hand over the running of the LGCM to his deputy, Reverend Sharon Ferguson, he remains hopeful. “When I began this job 30 years ago, my instinct was that it was more than a lifetime’s work. I was never motivated by the belief that we would be able to achieve everything by the time I retired.

Donald "Don" Williams, American country singer ("I Believe in You"), born in Floydada Texas (d. 2017) After six years as a diocesan, Montefiore obtained a seat in the House of Lords, an event somewhat marred by a terrifying domestic mishap; alighting from the underground at Westminster, his wife, Elisabeth, slipped and fell beneath the carriage, the first sign of the onset of her Alzheimer's disease. It was in keeping with the general tone of Montefiore's ministry that the announcement of his appointment caused a rumpus. Imagin- ing that a bishop so hot on environmental issues would cause trouble at the Austin Rover factory at Longbridge, the Birmingham Evening Mail orchestrated a chorus of disapproval, to which assorted Anglo-Catholic clergy, and the future MP, Anthony Beaumont-Dark, all lent their voices.

Harlan Ellison, American sci-fi author and screenwriter (Star Trek -"The City on the Edge of Forever"), born in Cleveland, Ohio (d. 2018) In the light of Montefiore's strenuous efforts on behalf of the Church of England, it was sad to read in his autobiography that he did not really feel accepted in the Christian community. "I was sensitive about criticism," he wrote. "I realised that I was not altogether likeable, otherwise my peers would talk to me more and befriend me. I felt I always had to take the initiative. I might appear to be brash and self-confident (I was certainly impetuous); but this often hid an inferior feeling of unacceptedness."Max Brod, Czech-born Israeli composer, writer, and biographer of Kafka, born in Prague, Kingdom of Bohemia (now Czech Republic) (d. 1968) Julia Ward Howe, American poet (Battle Hymn of the Republic), author, abolitionist, and women's suffragist, born in NYC, New York (d. 1910)
