To

His Excellency Adam Wood

Lt Governor, Isle of Man

We the undersigned have become convinced that severe damage is being done to the Anglican Diocese of Sodor and Man by the flawed leadership of Bishop Robert Paterson and to a lesser extent the Archdeacon of Man, Andie Brown.

This is evidenced principally but by no means entirely in their prolonged bullying and attempts to intimidate individual members of the clergy. We seek the cessation of the abuse and ask that steps be taken to persuade the Bishop and the Archdeacon to resign their positions.

The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have over the past months been made increasingly aware of the situation and will receive copies of this petition.
