He Must Have Been Worried About The Eye of That Needle

Treasures belonging to the 100th Archbishop of Canterbury, Michael Ramsey, who died in 1988, were found in the River Wear by two divers.

They speculate that Ramsey threw them in, for reasons that aren't yet apparent.

Maybe he was worried about the state of his soul:

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:23-24

Objects included gold and silver coins and items made of gold, silver and bronze.

Lone Star Pastor likes to describe the current Archbishop as the "Archdruid of Canterbury." Heh.

The current Archbishop's eyebrows are only surpassed in their grotesquerie by those of Andy Rooney.
