Family Ante Trumbić, Croatian politician (23rd Mayor of Split), born in Split, Dalmatia, Austria-Hungary (d. 1938) For his last five years in Birmingham (he retired in 1987), Montefiore served as chairman of the Church of England board for social responsibility, clashing with the then lord chancellor, Lord Hailsham, over divorce and penal reform, while trying to steer the general synod into a moderate stance on the use of nuclear weapons.

After war service with a commission in the Royal Artillery, he was ordained deacon in 1949, at the age of 29, and was priested a year later. After serving a brief curacy in Newcastle, he was appointed, in 1951, as chaplain and tutor at the Cambridge theological college, Westcott House. Pete Sears, British session and touring bassist (Jefferson Starship; Rod Stewart), born in Bromley, Kent, England It may not be true that all publicity is good publicity, but in the case of Monty Python’s Life of Brian, which was released 40 years ago, some of the bad publicity was heaven-sent. The comedy team’s irreverent Biblical romp had been due to open on 200 screens across the US, but after various religious groups protested against it, the number of screens was tripled. “They actually made me rich,” said John Cleese of the protesters on one American talk show. “I feel we should send them a crate of champagne or something.” Amelia Jenks Bloomer, American reformer who campaigned for temperance and women’s rights, born in Homer, New York (d. 1894) Allan Carr, American producer and director (Grease, Happiest Millionaire), born in Chicago, Illinois (d. 1999)

Chūhei Nambu, Japanese athlete (Olympic gold triple jump 1932; only person to have held WRs in both long jump & triple jump), born in Sapporo, Japan (d. 1997) Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, Danish jazz double bassist, born in Osted, Zealand, Denmark (d. 2005) Some of us who reported on the campaign suspected that the knowledgeable Kirker – “Richard knows where all the condoms are buried,” said one of his friends recently – was supporting it from the sidelines. He would not admit it at the time, but now he is breaking his silence to do so here. On his retirement from Birmingham, Montefiore was asked to act as an honorary assistant bishop in the diocese of Southwark, and he and Elisabeth returned to the house on Wandsworth Common, south London, where he had lived as bishop of Kingston. He devotedly nursed Elisabeth, a most able cook and gardener, until she had to go into residential care. She died in 1999. He is survived by their three daughters.

Age, Biography and Wiki

Dashiell Hammett, American detective novelist (Sam Spade, Maltese Falcon), born in St. Mary's County, Maryland (d. 1961) Two years later, Montefiore's gifts as a New Testament scholar ensured that he was appointed vice principal of the college, a post from which he inexplicably resigned without having another job to go to - a "lunatic thing to do", as he later admitted. Nevertheless, in 1954 he began a distinguished, nine-year stint as fellow and dean of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, during the last four years of which he combined the post with that of university lecturer in New Testament studies.

But that is not how it appears if you are Reverend Richard Kirker, who is about to step down after nearly 30 years as head of the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement (LGCM). For the first half of that time, he fought a lonely battle to get church leaders to discuss sexuality. Now it’s hard to get them to talk about anything else, but not in the way he had in mind. Homosexuality is at the centre of a global struggle for the soul of the Anglican Communion, and as gay people are accused of bestiality and demonic possession, the Church seems to have become a repository for the homophobia unacceptable in the rest of society.

Rudolf Pannwitz, German writer and philosopher (Urblik), born in Crossen/Oder, Province of Brandenburg, Prussia (now in Poland) (d. 1969) Chester Zardis, American jazz 'slap-style' double-bassist, born in New Orleans, Louisiana (d. 1990) Max Brod, Czech-born Israeli composer, writer, and biographer of Kafka, born in Prague, Kingdom of Bohemia (now Czech Republic) (d. 1968) Bruce Furniss, American swimmer (Olympic gold men's 200m freestyle WR, 4x200m freestyle relay WR 1976; WR men's 200m IM 2:06.08 1975), born in Fresno, CaliforniaJill Sterkel, American swimmer (Olympic gold, 1976 & 1984; bronze, 1988), born in Hacienda Heights, California It is a favourite mantra among those loyal to new Labour that Britain is a much better place today than it was a decade ago – forward-looking, cosmopolitan and above all tolerant. The evidence often invoked on the last score is the emanci pation of lesbians and gay men. Riding high on law reform, the civil partnerships revolution and steadily increasing visibility from the cabinet to reality TV, many gay campaigners would agree.
