New subject: Can we nudge the Church of England for free images?

29 Aug 2013

I'm just getting ready to write an article for Wikinews about the Archbishop of
Canterbury, and I realised we do not have a free image of him.

Does the chapter or any volunteers have any contacts at the Church of England? I expect
they have a sizeable collection of interesting images that could help illustrate both
historical articles, biographies (of bishops and archbishops etc.), articles about places,
and things like Wikinews articles covering current-day issues in the church (like women
bishops, the church's attitude to lesbian and gay people etc.)

I've just sent an email to Lambeth Palace asking if they would be willing to release
some images for use on the Wikimedia projects, but I'd be interested to see if anyone
else could think of either good reasons to want, or good ways to get, images from the
Church of England.
