He said of Birmingham: “It’s wonderful, when you think the last Anglican Bishop here was black and he went on to become the Archbishop of York (Rt Rev John Sentamu).
“It looks like there is something in the water in Birmingham, because the Anglican community has had people coming to learn mission in Birmingham, and I think the strength of your ratio of religious diversity is a very great help.

“It’s one of the positives about Birmingham.” http://www.birminghampost.net/news/west-midlands-news/2009/06/19/archbishop-tutu-praises-birmingham-for-its-religious-diversity-65233-23919491/
