 About 800 people attended the service |
The new Bishop of Oxford has been inaugurated at a service at the city's Christ Church Cathedral on Friday. The Right Reverend John Pritchard, the former Suffragan Bishop of Jarrow and former Archdeacon of Canterbury, gave a sermon on the future of the church.
Video and pictures of the service, which was attended by about 800 people, were placed on the diocesan website.
Rt Rev Pritchard replaces Richard Harries to lead Anglicans in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
The event involved a procession through the streets of Oxford before the Rt Rev Pritchard was formally admitted to the cathedral to become the 42nd bishop.
The service of inauguration will be followed by a number of other "services of welcome" across the diocese during the next few weeks.
