Reverend Paterson calls time on position
The Lord Bishop has announced he's to retire later this year.
Reverend Robert Paterson has served the Diocese of Sodor and Man since 2008, as well as holding a seat on the Legislative Council.
The 67-year-old says his decision to step down was motivated 'purely by age' - he'll leave the post in November.
Looking back on a tumultuous decade for the Anglican Church on the Island, the Bishop said it's important for religion to change with the times:
