My Take
Stephen Cottrell fascinates me as a man at the top of an ancient institution who still seems determined to stay reachable. Rising from Reading and Chelmsford to Archbishop of York, the second-most senior post in the Church of England, and from January 2025 to January 2026 he also carried most of the Archbishop of Canterbury's primatial duties during the vacancy. I find that willingness to shoulder extra weight quietly admirable. To me he embodies a softer kind of strength, the conviction that faith should be opened up rather than fenced off.
