Bishop Gregory consecrated
The Rt Revd Dr Gregory Cameron (49) was ordained bishop at a ceremony in Llandaff Cathedral on Saturday 4 April, along with the Rt Revd David Wilbourne (53), who will serve as assistant bishop of Llandaff.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd Dr Rowan Williams, was the preacher at the service. After encouraging the new bishops to “Keep watch over yourselves” he concluded by saying “We all wish you joy, support and strength.”
Dr Cameron has been Deputy Secretary General of the Anglican Communion; prior to that he was chaplain to Dr Rowan Williams when he was Archbishop of Wales. He originates from Monmouthshire.
Dr Cameron is the 76th Bishop of St Asaph. He follows Bishop John Davies, who retired at the end of last year.
The Archbishop of Wales said, "This was a very joyful and affirming service and we particularly appreciated the support from the large number of bishops who came and joined us in the consecration. I am delighted to welcome Bishop Gregory and Bishop David to the Welsh Bench of Bishops and wish them every blessing in their ministry."
