Jonathan Aitken, writing in the Grauniad about Wycliffe Hall noted that:
"At the heart of the controversy lies a personality clash between Turnbull and a part-time Wycliffe research fellow, Elaine Storkey, who is now the subject of disciplinary proceedings. She has surprised even the most neutral observers with the vehemence of her attacks not only on Turnbull, who she publicly compared at a meeting attended by staff and students to "one of the Nazi defendants at Nuremberg", but also on the chairman of the Hall Council, Bishop James Jones."
But another version of the story has her saying this:
"The version I heard is that, after having signed the Covenant for the Church of England, RT claimed he had been pressured into putting his name to the document. Storkey replied something like 'the Nuremberg trials taught us that we are responsible for what we sign'. This is very far from comparing RT to a Nazi, but it is the comment which prompted the disciplinary proceedings."
Interesting!
