Armand Le Bourgeois was bishop of Autun in central France from1966 until his retirement in1987. The last bishop of Autun to wear the pallium, he was prominent in ecumenical relations and chairman of an episcopal committee which took the decision to offer communion in Catholic churches to Anglicans who found themselves out of reach of their own church in France. More restrictive attitudes have since tended to reassert themselves.
