After an anti-capitalist campaign descended on St. Paul’s Cathedral in London as part of the Occupy London Stock Exchange movement, the Canon of St. Paul's resigned over the threat of violent removal of the protesters by the Metropolitan police.
"I resigned because I believe that the chapter has set on a course of action that could mean there will be violence in the name of the church".
He went on to write an excellent article in the Guardian where he states that "no church should insulate itself from raw human need":
