Bishop-elect of St Asaph
The Revd Canon Gregory Cameron has been elected as the next Bishop of St Asaph. The announcement was made by the Archbishop of Wales on the Cathedral steps at 5 p.m. on Monday 5 January, once Canon Cameron had secured two-thirds of the vote of the Church in Wales' Electoral College.
Canon Cameron has twenty-eight days to accept the nomination but said today, “I am conscious that for the family of St Asaph the choice of a new bishop is a profoundly important point in their life and that of the Gospel in North-East Wales. I am both stunned and honoured by the choice of the Electoral College and hope that by God’s grace I can at least in part live up to people’s expectations. I will need the prayers of all the diocese and the church as we find a way forward together.”
Canon Cameron, 49, is currently Deputy Secretary General of the Anglican Communion Office. He is pictured (above) with his wife, Clare. They have three sons, age 11, 9 and 6.
