The UK and Ireland’s first woman bishop has been consecrated by the Anglican Church at a service in Dublin on Saturday.

The Reverend Pat Storey, a rector in Londonderry, was appointed in September.

She was elected by the Church of Ireland as Bishop of Meath and Kildare, in the Republic of Ireland.

    My memory is a bit hazy but I remember reading about a Church of Ireland diocese recently where the electoral college was stalled and the college of bishops made the choice, as provided for in the provincial constitution. Was it this diocese or another? If it was this diocese it is interesting that the first woman bishop was not (yet) elected in the usual way.

    I believe you are correct Fr Tee.
