Civil war resumes at Wells Cathedral

Far from being a haven of calm and contemplation, Wells Cathedral is turning into the Khartoum of Anglican worship.

In January, the Dean had to resign amid allegations that he fostered a ‘culture of fear’. The director of music left amid unhappiness and fear.

Now, the exemplary Acting Director of Music Alexander Hamilton has been denied a place on the shortlist for the permanent post.

One of  the Lay Clerks is circulating an email*  demanding that Hamilton is reinstated.

It’s all kicking off again at Wells and we at slippedisc.com are not surprised.

Wells Cathedral  School  is the only place we have  ever been  deplatformed.

UPDATE: We now understand that the email originated with a long-standing supporter of the cathedral and was circulated by many others.
