On Thursday 25 April, the Revd Canon Dr Anderson Jeremiah will be consecrated as the new Bishop of Edmonton.
The service will be live-streamed from Canterbury Cathedral from 11am.
Guests can also access the livestream via the Cathedral website or via the Cathedral’s YouTube channel if they do not have the direct link.
Anderson grew up in Tamil Nadu, the southernmost state in India, as a Dalit Christian. He is the first Dalit, and the first clergyperson ordained in the Church of Southern India (CSI), to be appointed Bishop in the Church of England. He has lived across five Anglican provinces and served across rural to urban contexts and amongst deprived and affluent communities.
Anderson has most recently been Associate Dean (Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and People) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Lancaster University, and Associate Priest at St Paul’s Scotforth, in the Diocese of Blackburn.
He succeeds the Rt Revd Rob Wickham as Bishop of Edmonton, who stepped down in August to become Chief Executive of the Church Urban Fund.
