New spiritual leader takes up post
The Isle of Man has a new Bishop.
The Right Reverend Peter Eagles was formally enthroned in a special ceremony at Peel Cathedral yesterday.
He is the 87th man in recorded history to hold the post.
A former British Army Chaplain, the 58-year-old will now be responsible for overseeing religious affairs in the Diocese of Sodor and Man - as well as occupying a seat in the Legislative Council.
His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, President of Tynwald, Chief Minister and senior religious figures were present in the congregation on Saturday.
In an inaugural sermon, Bishop Eagles spoke of his eagerness:
