From Asia News-
Rev Dhiloraj Ranjit Canagasabey is the new Anglican bishop of Colombo. The ordination took place on Saturday in Colombo’s Christ the Living Saviour Cathedral. The Mass was celebrated in Sinhalese, English and Tamil with the participation of eight Anglican bishops, both local and foreign. More than 5,000 people greeted the new bishop, including the faithful, priests, friends of the pastor, religious dignitaries and political leaders.
After the sermon by the Ven Godwin Weerasuriya, Mgr Dhiloraj Ranjit went to the altar, placed his right hand on the open Bible and, facing the congregation, made his pledge.
At the end of the service, participants welcomed the new bishop with the sound of drums and Church bells, as well as the exchange of two baskets of flowers as a token of peace between the country’s North and South.
Born in the Eastern Province, Mgr Dhiloraj is an ethnic Tamil married to a Sinhalese woman from Colombo.
