the Church of England’s senior spokesman on communication issues. Since 2002 he has been the National Chaplain to the Royal British Legion. His wife Celia is descended from 11 successive generations of Irish clergy. Their wedding in 1974 was featured on the John Betjeman documentary A Passion for Churches. On 28 June 2008 she became the first member of the Church of England to be ordained a priest by her own husband. They have two grown-up daughters, Kathleen and Lizzie, and one grandson, Sebastian. Sony game row In June 2007, McCulloch considered taking legal action against Sony because of their PlayStation game Resistance: Fall of Man. The game features detailed views of Manchester Cathedral infested with aliens and others to be killed by the player. The Church said Sony did not obtain permission to use the interior. Sony said "Resistance: Fall of Man is a fantasy science fiction game and is not based on reality. We believe we have sought and received all permissions necessary for the creation of the game." McCulloch also expressed concerns that a game that involved shooting people was set in Manchester Cathedral, given the city's history of gun crime. Delayed retirement It was announced on 21 December 2010 that McCulloch had been granted special permission to remain in his role beyond his 70th birthday by the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu. The usual age of retirement for bishops is 70, but McCulloch remained until 71st birthday in mid-January 2013. Since 2002 McCulloch has been National Chaplain to The Royal British Legion. Knighthood On 20 February 2013 the Queen invested McCulloch with the insignia of a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO). As an ordained clergyman, he does not use the title Sir.
