"We hope he is aware of the need," the Bishop said in an address to a diocesan conference. "Some of us wish he would give more positive signs of such awareness. "His personal views and opinion are his own," the Bishop said, "and he has the right like all of us to be the keeper of his private conscience but, in his public capacity at the coronation, he stands for the English people's idea of Kingship."
