Ven. Thomas A. Corston was chosen as the bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Moosonee at an electoral synod held April 10.
Corston, who ministered in Fredericton in the 1980s, was elected on the fifth ballot from amongst seven candidates. He succeeds Most Rev. Caleb Lawrence, who had served as Bishop of Moosonee for the past 30 years before retiring in January.
The Diocese of Moosonee encompasses 350,000 square miles in northern Ontario and western Quebec and is home to about 8,700 Anglicans. The diocese is a member of the Council of the North.
