On his Radio 2 show today (Friday 22 July) Chris Evans expressed his approval for the diocese opting to use the name 'Diocese of Leeds'.
Bishop Nick regularly presents Pause for Thought on the programme, and having two names for the diocese ('Leeds' and 'West Yorkshire & the Dales') has been very confusing.
After his Pause for Thought this morning, Bishop Nick explained that we are now just called the Diocese of Leeds (and no longer 'West Yorkshire & the Dales'), and Chris said, "Thank them from me".
