8 Sept: Why does Matthew Parker deserve our sympathy and praise?
Matthew Parker was Queen Elizabeth’s first Archbishop of Canterbury between 1559 and 1575, yet his reputation is mixed and his work only recently coming to be appreciated. Was he a scholar out of his depth or a canny archbishop who dealt well with the hand he was forced to play?
