Obituary: The Right Rev John Trillo
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.'THERE is no Head of the Church of England,' we are told by Michael De-la-Noy (9 August, further to the obituary by Vernon Sproxton, 6 August). Really? writes the Rev Simon P. Springett.
John Trillo's gentle style of leadership encouraged the correct understanding of Christ as Head of the Church. The recent tendency to refer to diocesan offices as 'headquarters' and diocesan bishops as 'the boss' is not one John Trillo would have approved of. He knew that God's ways are not always those bishops would like them to be. When a difficult clergyman announced that God had 'told him to stay in his parish', John Trillo responded with a stage-whispered 'Whose side does He think He's on then?'
