The Bishop of Norwich is no stranger to leaps of faith.

One performed thousands of feet in the air with someone strapped to your back is rather a different matter.

But that is what the Rt Revd Graham James is preparing for, to mark the 30th anniversary of Norfolk charity the Matthew Project, which supports people with drug and alcohol issues across the county.

He said: “Christians have often spoken about taking a ‘leap of faith’. I’m doing so in a tandem sky dive next May as patron of the Matthew Project.

“When I came to Norwich 14 years ago it was one of the first local organisations to ask me to become its patron.
