58 year old British Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu is a cool dude (can you call a clergy that?). I wouldn't have the God Dam (oops) balls to Parachute Jump off the plane and I'm much younger than him. There must be something about being an Archbishop that gives you balls? Does anybody know if they're hiring? Maybe they have an opening for Archbishop of Alberta. I should send in my application. I'm not Canadian born, but John Sentamu is nor British born either. He's from Uganda. I would really love to be taken for a parachute jump.

Anyway, Dr John Sentamu decided he's gonna boost his ratings (maybe he wants to keep his post for another election term) and parachute jumped for charity at Royal Air Force Langar Airfield in Britain's Langar, Nottingham with the Parachute Regiment Red Devils display team. Yes, the jump was under disguise of charity with intentions to collect money for... well, they call it the Afghanistan Trust. It's a charity fund for families who lost their members (family members, not penises) during war in Afghanistan or something.

Dr John Sentamu had his share of crazies last year on national TV when he cut up his dog collar to protest the situation in Zimbabwe under the rule of Robert Mugabe. He's worse attention whore than any celebrity and he's Archbishop of York. Go figure.

Pics from his parachute jump after the break. It was a 4000 ft drop.

I am a staunch athiest, but I think the church needs more people like Sentamu, who speaks his mind and isn't afraid of politicians..... That he was doing the jump to raise funds and awareness of injured soldiers returning from unwanted wars is just admirable.

That's good you got an archbishop that kicks ass. I don't even know a name of any archbishop in Canada. As an atheist, if you know the name of one, that means he's worth being known about.

Pretty cool archbishop. Babie is right, when was the last time you've heard your local archbishop do something cool? They seem to enclose themselves in their own private world from where they pull the strings of the universe making us dance like the marionettes not realizing who the director is.

Good physical and mental shape to take a sky dive being 58 year old.

That's the type of archbishop I could praise. Take advantage of your post while it lasts. If I wanted to have an assisted jump from a plane, I'd have to pay for that shit, Dr John Sentamu got it all for nothing. What life...

They were able to collect £75,000 in donations following the parachute jump. Wow, I'd be set for life with this type of money and they get it by jumping from the plane... Damn, I'm in the wrong business model here.
