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, he could lean on pure authority, yet his writing and preaching aim to translate difficult doctrine into ordinary language. I find that quietly admirable; power usually creates distance, but he appears to move the other way. To me he embodies a softer kind of strength, the conviction that faith should be opened up rather than fenced off.
