October 2022 update
We have successfully appealed, and have a hearing in the Appeal Court to proceed to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has already noted "There is no exemption that leads to discrimination that is not overturned by Human Rights." Age discriminiation is the first "protected" category in the Equality Act for which the Church of England claims exmption to dismiss for being 70 years of age.
We have already won! If only we can get to the Supreme Court - that that is the funding issue - it will cost in excess of £50,000.
Please share this update widely!
Thank you and God bless.

Fr Paul is a man of outstanding courage & talent, vitality, & vision. He has given of himself unstintingly for decades. Age has not impaired him; in any other field of endeavour, such "age-discrimination" would be roundly condemned, & stopped by the courts. So should it be in this case! Not so long ago, London ASKED to keep its seasoned & willing clergy on! It is the blind of heart who want him shut down.
