Just call us Mr and Mrs Bishop! Couple become first husband and wife to be appointed to senior Church position

From The Daily Mail-

A couple have become the country's first husband and wife Bishops.

The appointment of Alison White, 58, as Bishop of Hull means she joins husband Frank, 65, the current acting Bishop of Newcastle, at the top level of the Anglican Church.


Her success in become the country's second only woman Bishop will cause upheaval to the Right Rev Frank White's domestic arrangements.


The couple, who have been married for 33 years and have no children, are moving their family home to the Hull area and Frank will regularly make a 145 mile commute north to Newcastle – staying for much of the week in a 'pied-a-terre.'
