A new Yorkshire bishop will be ordained at a special York Minster service next month.
Peter Burrows will become Bishop of Doncaster at the service, led by the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, on February 2. He is leaving his role as Archdeacon of Leeds to take up the new position.
Bishop Burrows will be the sponsoring bishop for ordination in the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds and will also take the lead on education. He began his ministry in West Yorkshire, but this will be the first time he was worked in the south and east of Yorkshire.
He has also been a member of the General Synod of the Church of England, representing the House of Clergy in both the Leicester and Ripon and Leeds dioceses, and is a bishop’s advisor for selection and training, helping people decide whether they have a vocation.
A welcome and installation of Bishop Burrows will be held at Sheffield Cathedral on February 5, with a civic service of welcome at Doncaster Minster on February 11.
