York consecration service for Peter Eagles
The Island’s new Lord Bishop should be in post this autumn.
The Venerable Peter Eagles became Bishop of Sodor and Mann at a consecration service today at York Minster.
The ceremony led by the Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu was shared with Dr Peter Wilcox who was ordained Bishop of Sheffield.
A strong Manx contingent was in the cathedral to witness the start of a new era for the Christian church in the Isle of Man.
Lord Bishop Peter Eagles will be enthroned at Peel cathedral when he takes up the role on-Island later this year.
After today's consecration, he said he's looking forward to starting work:
More than 500 Isle of Man Energy customers overcharged for VAT
Police working with schools to teach children about the dangers of social media
Drivers turning in Douglas Fire Station forecourt leads to 'near misses'
Isle of Man Government ‘closely monitoring’ impact of US trade tariffs
'Angel of Ronaldsway' could be installed at the Manx Aviation and Military Museum
