Trainee priests ‘will be brought to their knees by degree costs’
Trainee priests will face a huge rise in university tuition fees if controversial plans to reform university funding go ahead, say senior clerics. Three quarters of the 1,500 students training to become Church of England clergy at any one time are taking second university degrees because many are coming into the priesthood later in life. The Church of England is giving warning that plans to remove £100 million for students wishing to take a second degree could have a catastrophic effect on the quality of training for clergy and leave a huge black hole in church finances. Trainee nurses, teachers and scientists have won exemptions, arguing that they are pursuing strategically important and socially desirable subjects. But the Government has resisted intensive lobbying from the Church to add theology to the list of exemptions.

The public relations blitz is meant to plant reasonable doubt with the only jury Craig still cares about: K Street. As Popkey points out, Craig is all too familiar with the case of Bob Packwood, the last Republican senator from the Pacific Northwest to be driven from office by scandal. Craig served on the ethics committee when it investigated Packwood. He voted to expel his friend but hugged Packwood afterwards and sobbed as he went into the Senate cloakroom. Packwood's political career was over as soon as the lurid details of his sexual harassment hit the press. But rather than spare himself and his party further embarrassment, Packwood fought the charges for three years, leaving only when the Senate ethics committee voted unanimously for expulsion. Packwood's consolation prize for three decades of fondling and unwanted advances: a $1.5-million-a-year lobbying practice that sold clients on the other contacts he had made in Congress.
