In a surprise move, the Church of England has elected its first Boy Bishop since the Middle Ages.
Rev. Libby Lane, who was a priestess in the Diocese of Chester, has been named as the new Boy Bishop of Stockport, in greater Manchester. After the surprise announcement, the new Boy Bishop said, "So today I pray will not be simply about one woman called up a new ministry in the church but much more than that, an opportunity to acknowledge all that has gone before and to look ahead to what is still to be done."
What beautiful thoughts, Libby!
The Episcopal Church has had Boy Bishops for years.
Good luck, CofE.
