"Some of us call that dialogue between data and evidence by the name of Empirical Theology, and so it has been highly appropriate that the Church of England lectionary should offer us the letter to Philemon which exemplifies it, on the night when we admit The Revd. Professor Leslie Francis, one of its foremost exponents, to a distinguished canonry in Manchester Cathedral. For longer than he or I care to remember, he has encouraged lay and ordained Christians to investigate the contexts of their places of ministry, to apply the best academic resources to that study, and to produce writings that allow those practitioners to be better vicars, schoolteachers, readers and bishops, to contribute to the corpus of knowledge, and to disseminate their findings for the practical benefit of church and society." David Walker, Bishop of Manchester
