Day of Installation - an infant church - a "Year of Grace"; his homily said it all; groping for the right "shape" of the new diocese; a charge to "lead, to minister, to exercise compassion"; programme of pastoral visits - Archbishop Warlock's lead; responsibilites to the church i England and everywhere but chiefly to the European scene; despite that he will be available; pastoral oversight to be established [organisational aspects listed]; Canon McBride as Vicar-General, Canon Taylor as Chancellor; invites comments on his "model"; will remain at Poringland - chaplain to be appointed for the Cathedral; drafting a second Ad Clerum - to be crisp and to the point.
