AT LAST Jeffrey John, forced to stand down as Bishop of Reading, has something to celebrate with the appointment of Canon Gene Robinson as the Anglican Church’s first gay bishop.

John’s many supporters in Church House, Oxford — the city’s Bishop, Richard Harries, offered him the Reading job — organised a collection. They have raised £100 for John and his partner to go out to dinner. They have booked a table at Kennington Lane Restaurant & Bar, where the house speciality is Paradise Punch. Perhaps they should rename it Paradise Regained.
