Nick Baines is Bishop of Croydon, the only bishop we know who has been arrested for busking in the Paris Metro (albeit when he was 19 or 20). He is ‘The spy who came into the fold’ or ‘the bishop who came in from the cold’, having worked as a professional Russian (and German and French) linguist at the Government Communications HQ in Cheltenham in the early 1980s. He is a guitarist and singer, and grew up playing classical and jazz (trumpet). Nick also undertakes many broadcasting assignments and conducts an inter-faith dialogue in Central Asia (Kazakhstan) and south-east Europe.
