In his sermon, The Very Reverend Andrew Nunn, Dean of Southwark gave an entertaining reflection on the scenic sights of Croydon but included a more serious message about the importance of reaching out to the community and inviting secular society back into churches.
As a suffragan bishop of the Diocese of Southwark, Bishop Jonathan oversees the Episcopal Area of Croydon, made up of the Archdeaconries of Croydon and Reigate which together contain 112 parishes.
Ellen was present at the consecration and in the photograph brother and sister appear to be very happy to be together on this important occasion.
