From The BBC-
The Venerable John Wraw, 52, will be consecrated as a Bishop at St Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday and then be installed in his post on Sunday.
The former Archdeacon of Wiltshire, succeeds the Right Reverend Dr Laurie Green who retired in February 2011.
The Episcopal area of Bradwell, within the Diocese of Chelmsford, includes 145 parishes across south and east Essex.
Among the places it covers are Chelmsford, Southend, Basildon, Brentwood, Tilbury Docks, Maldon and the Dengie Peninsular.
Mr Wraw said: "One of the real joys of the last few months has been getting into contact with people who I've not had contact with for 10 or 20 years.
"[It's allowed me to] realise how many people have helped shape me for my ministry."
Mr Wraw, who was ordained 27 years ago, will become the fifth person to hold the post.
