John Alexander Kirkpatrick "Sandy" Millar (born 13 November 1939) is a retired Anglican bishop who, on 27 November 2005, was consecrated in Kampala as an assistant bishop in the Province of Uganda,〔(Diocese of London – Millar to become a Bishop )〕 He was subsequently licensed at St Paul's Cathedral, London, on 9 February 2006 to act as an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of London. He thereafter served as priest-in-charge of St Mark’s Tollington Park in North London until 2 February 2011 when he retired. == Personal life == Millar was born into an upper class Scottish family (his father was a major-general) and was educated at Lambrook preparatory school, Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1962 with the degree of Master of Arts. He practised as a barrister for 10 years. After that, he gained a diploma in theology from the University of Durham. He was ordained deacon in 1976 and priest in 1977 at the age of 37. Millar has been a prebendary of St Paul's Cathedral since 1997. Millar is in the Charismatic Evangelical tradition of the Church of England, but has usually concentrated on local missions and not on participation in controversies in the wider Anglican Communion. However, in October 2007, he was reported to have said to an American church congregation that "there is a war on for the very soul of the church" and to have told the congregation, which had left the Episcopal Church of the United States of America in protest at its acceptance of homosexuality, "your steadfastness in the face of a new and speciously sophisticated manifestation of evil has won you many admirers all over the world."〔(Transcript: The Full Text of Bishop Sandy Millar's Sermon at ) Truro: "Do You Love Me?", (BabyBlueOnline ), 31 October 2007.〕 These comments were publicised on the internet, although not by him.〔 On 29 April 2012, Millar was licensed as an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, by which time he was living in Aldeburgh.〔(Ipswich Star – Trio honoured at St Edmundsbury )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sandy Millar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
