The good lord needed him.
The Bishop of Peterborough has died suddenly while travelling from Cambridgeshire to a family gathering in the West country.
Rt Revd Ian Cundy, 64, had been suffering from cancer of the lung cavity and had announced he would retire in July because of his illness.
He had undergone chemotherapy but the cancer spread significantly recently.
The bishop leaves his widow Jo, three adult children, Robert, Paul and Elizabeth, and a new grandson.
Bishop Cundy had been working during his illness and had been writing letters on the morning of his death, a diocesan spokesman said.
He was taken ill on his way to the West country and was taken by ambulance to hospital in Swindon where he was pronounced dead.
Suffragan Bishop of Brixworth, the Rt Revd Frank White, will assume his duties until a successor is appointed.
The Crown Nominations Commission is due to meet towards the end of July to consider possible candidates.
A name is unlikely to be announced until the autumn.
Cambridge graduate
Bishop White said: "Bishop Ian was greatly loved for his gentle manner, his warm acceptance of people from all walks of life and all denominations and traditions within the Christian church.
"He will be greatly missed, and our prayers are with Jo and the family at this time."
A book of condolence has been opened in Peterborough Cathedral.
Bishop Cundy was born on 23 April 1945 and educated at Monkton Combe School, Trinity College in Cambridge (where he read mathematics and theology) and at Tyndale Hall Theological College.
He was ordained priest in 1970 and served in a number of parish and academic posts until he was consecrated area bishop of Lewes in 1992.
He remained there until 1996 when he was appointed Bishop of Peterborough and he entered the House of Lords in March 2001.

Yes sir.
I had him twice actually. The good bishop scores for me at Derby as well.

Yeah, Wezil's list (and iirc Winston's) is full of relative obscurities (i.e., not famous in the US). I'll get to the scoring later. Busy day. Got to start libel threads while Lori is busy...Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

And strangely this is why our DP has been so quiet this year. European celebs are dropping like flies but NA celebs aren't. Derby has over 50 hits so far (30 in January alone).Originally posted by -Jrabbit View Post"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

Yeah. I figured most people who die are relative obscurities. It's bound to pay off sometime.Originally posted by -Jrabbit View Post
Seriously, many of the picks from U.S. posters are way beyond obscurity to me. So it's a two-way street. The death of e.g. legendary baseball coaches figure comparatively low on the radar here against, say, ordinary kings and queens.
