From The Telegraph-Jesus, according to the Bible, rode a donkey into Jerusalem, sailed in a fishing boat and even walked on water.
But when it comes to many of the Church of England’s most senior clerics, the favoured means of getting around is still the chauffeur-driven car.
According to details of spending disclosed at the Church’s ruling General Synod, one in four diocesan bishops still retains a personal driver.
It comes 14 years after an official Church of England review urged members of the episcopate to give up their chauffeurs in an effort to end the centuries-old image of the high-living “prince bishops” in palaces.
The Church also appears to be taking Jesus’s words that “in my fathers house are many mansions” rather literally.
