From England (Really, Dorking?)Julian Henderson, currently Archdeacon of Dorking, will become the most senior Anglican cleric in Lancashire when he takes over the role.
The consecration will be followed by his formal installation as Bishop in a service at Blackburn Cathedral.
He will then make time to travel round the Diocese for a further series of special welcome services to be announced.
Archdeacon Julian said: “I am looking forward immensely to taking up my appointment in Lancashire.
“As the time grows nearer I ask people to join me in praying for everyone involved in the preparations and for days that will stand as a testament to God’s glory.
“Heather and I continue to value your prayers not just for us, but also for Bishop John Goddard and the senior team in the diocese as they continue to carry the responsibility of the vacancy.”
The Rt Rev John Goddard, the Bishop of Burnley and Acting Bishop of Blackburn, has written to all clergy and readers across the region with the news about the dates.
