New bishops in joint consecration in Wales

From the BBC

Rev Canon Gregory Cameron will become the 76th Bishop of St Asaph, in Denbighshire.

Meanwhile, Rev Canon David Wilbourne will be consecrated as Assistant Bishop of Llandaff.
The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan will be joined at the public service by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams.

Canon Gregory, 49, was elected Bishop of St Asaph in January. He was formerly Deputy Secretary General of the Anglican Communion Office.

Canon David, 53, was appointed Assistant Bishop of Llandaff in February. He was previously vicar of Helmsley in the Diocese of York.

More than 30 serving and retired bishops from Wales and other provinces of the Anglican Church will be at the service to consecrate the new bishops.

They will take part in a procession to lead the bishops-designate into the cathedral, along with senior clergy, church registrars and chancellors and representatives from other Christian denominations.
