Archbishop of Canterbury Consecrates New Bishop at Southwark Cathedral

The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Dr Rowan Williams, has this week consecrated Wolverhampton's new Bishop, the Rt Rev Clive Gregory, as well as other bishops from the Church of England at a special service in Southwark Cathedral, south London.

The former Team Rector of Coventry East became the youngest bishop in the Church of England, aged just 45.

The service began with Dr Rowan Williams telling the congregation about the different aspects of Christian ministry within the Church of England. He said: "Bishops are ordained to be Shepherds of Christ's flock and guardians of the faith of the apostles, proclaiming the gospel of Christ's kingdom and leading his people in mission.
