A new Bishop has been chosen in the Diocese of Argyll and The Isles, with the Rev David Railton elected to the position that has been vacant since the death of Bishop Keith Riglin in September 2022.

[Scottish Episcopal Church @secsynod]

“This election has come from sad circumstances following the death of Bishop Keith. There is still grieving, but as well as looking back, we are also able to look forward now.”

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

Tomorrow, for the first time, Primates from around the @AnglicanWorld are meeting in Rome, for four days of prayer, pilgrimage, discussion and fellowship.

Together we will discuss common priorities and challenges in the global mission and shared life of the #AnglicanCommunion, particularly for churches and communities impacted by the instability of conflict, the climate crisis, and poverty.

We will pray for the needs of all, the witness of the Communion, and the unity of God's church.
