It would be very interesting to see (or hear of) the evidence which you have collected, and the to discuss how that evidence could be interpreted, and what other possible explanations for the data there may be.
I have not got any evidence to be honest as I do not at the moment go around ghost-hunting as that would be in great conflict with my religious beliefs seeing as I attend a RC Church every week and am getting converted. But that doesn't mean to say that David hasn't got any in his files but I cannot say one way or another if he will write or talk or even post pictures that is upto him.
Which gets into how you define "bishop", knowing a little about how religions are defined and regulated in the UK I suspect that legally Mr Manchester has a right to use the title of bishop. However what that actually means is open to personal interpretation, and whether someone should use the title in relation to Mr Manchester or not is a matter of personal choice (and personal freedom).
I would ask though that we focus on matters directly related to the paranormal rather than the ecclesiastical standing (or otherwise) of Mr Manchester.
When I posted the reply, I was merely answering someone elses post as I felt fit seeing as the post was quoting and replying to my own comments.
You Barbara and David seem to be in a position to offer a different point of view from most of the posters here, and frankly I think we have more interesting and relevant things to talk about than obscure churches. And given Darat's warnings about personal matters and past history, I wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity of asking you, and in particular David, some questions.
I agree with you we all have different view points which is what makes this thread interesting. However the thread is titled Sean Manchester - Vampire Hunter and consequently we are discussing Sean Manchester. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like and we will try to provide an answer if not we'll say so. We won't pretend to know everything. But at least we'll be honest and open and wont hide behind aliases.
Best wishes
