New bishop learning to speak Manx
The Archbishop of York says the new Bishop of Sodor and Mann will serve the Island 'very well' - and play a full part in Manx life.
Dr John Sentamu formally consecrated the Venerable Peter Eagles as bishop, at a majestic ceremony in York Minster yesterday.
The new Lord Bishop has a number of formalities to conduct before he takes up the role here, including paying homage to the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
He's expected to be enthroned in Peel cathedral in the autumn.
Speaking after the service in York, Archbishop Sentamu praised Peter Eagles as 'a man of many talents', who would fit in well:
Police 'actively looking' for drink and drug drivers this Christmas
Fine for man who had to be restrained by five hospital porters
Today's Manxman sailings delayed
MHK questions if reduction in NSC hours goes against Island Plan
