Dr John Sentamu is a mini marvel
From The Press (York, U.K.):
A SELL-OUT frenzy has stopped the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, buying a Christmas tree decoration of himself.
Miniature versions of the archbishop are hanging on festive trees in many homes across the city this Christmas - except for his own.
Dr Sentamu was approached by representatives from York Minster earlier last month and agreed to the production of the decorations in the hope it would help raise funds for the cathedral.
The 10cm fabric decorations were handmade in Thailand by a group of 30 women, and the bespoke range features a 6in-high padded Dr Sentamu wearing a gold and blue robe.
Avid Christmas decorators snapped up all 200 of the £6.50 fabric tree decorations before they even hit the shops. . .
Ah, but how are sales going for the Archbishop of Canterbury ornament?
