The Right Rev. John Holland Chapman was installed Sunday night as the ninth bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa at a service at Christ Church Cathedral.
Elected last March, and ordained bishop in May, the new bishop ceremonially knocked on the door of the 1873 church, to gain entry.
The doors were opened by the cathedral wardens, as the bishop was welcomed by the Dean of Ottawa, the Very Rev. Shane Parker. “We welcome you to your Cathedral Church of Christ, the symbol and centre of your pastoral, liturgical and teaching ministry in this diocese of Ottawa,” he said
