She becomes the first black woman bishop<\/a> and will be installed in a follow-up ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral on Saturday, November 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rev Hudson-Wilkin said: “Beginning this new ministry, there is a sense of awe in it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“But also something refreshing about being open to the new things that God has in store \u2013 not just for me as a person taking on this new leadership role, but for our diocese as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I\u2019m excited \u2013 I\u2019ve got lots of new people to meet, to get to know, and that fills me with joy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcoming the appointment the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, said: “When in October Rose stepped down as Chaplain to the Speaker, the tributes from all sides showed her pastoral, prophetic and faith-sharing gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Even in times of division she was a point of unity and hope, to those of any or no faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We welcome her warmly confident that God, who has led her this far, will walk with her and speak through her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sermon was delivered by the Most Rev John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, and the Rt Rev Olivia Graham was also made Bishop of Reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bishop of Dover is the suffragan Bishop in the Diocese of Canterbury and holds additional delegated responsibilities for oversight of the Canterbury Diocese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rev Hudson-Wilkin had been Chaplain to the Speaker of the House of Commons for nine years and is also former Chaplain to the Queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She replaces, as Bishop of Dover, the Rt Rev Trevor Willmott, who had the post for 10 years and retired on May 12<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
