From England-Former Upper Hunter man Greg Thompson has been chosen as the new bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle.
The church's Synod gathered at the weekend to replace retired bishop Brian Farran.
Bishop Thompson, who went to school in Muswellbrook, is currently the bishop of the Northern Territory diocese.
He was the only candidate vying for the Newcastle role after a vote earlier this year failed to reach consensus.
Assistant bishop Peter Stuart has been the interim leader and says he's looking forward to the new bishop starting in February next year.
