Sir, - Archbishop Walton Empey may not be an ecclesiastical "high-flyer" - whatever that means - and I have no way of judging his "theological competence", but if openness, warmth, pastoral care and living witness to Christian values are of any relevance, he will be seen as the finest Archbishop of Dublin, of any denomination, of the past century. - Yours, etc.,
Sen Maurice Manning, Leinster House, Kildare Street, Dublin 2.
