And what if it were to be an evangelical?

It would be interesting, certainly.
Would he don a mitre and chasuble, recite the Angelus at the end of the Parish Mass, and bless as the people knelt on his departure?
Then, for most parishioners, that'd be fine.

Indeed. I've known evangelical bishops who happily do 1 and 3 but not 1, 2, and 3. The trio would be be the winner.

It's a fierce man-eating plant which traps unwary anglo-catholics, covers them in a sticky substance and drags them down to a place deep inside the plant from which there is no escape. See 'Sundew', 'Venus Flytrap', etc.
Alternatively, it's opening a new church in a redundant building, supported by Holy Trinity Brompton, the home of Alpha courses and suppers. Take your pick.

Technically a Church Plant in the Diocese of London. In this case, an HTB church plant. But under the authority of the Bishop.

An evangelical in Lewes didn't do Chichester any good, by the looks of the child protection scandals.

If someone reports sexual activity with a minor, you contac the police. In other words, the diocesan child proteciton policy was crap.
But, I don't know what the government guidance was in 1997 - or the likely police response in 1997. Here is the current government guidance.

In 1997? Most cerertainly the official line was report the matter. Probably in 1987 as well.
