I was glad to attend the enthronement ceremony for the new Bishop of Monmouth, Cherry Van, at St Woolos Cathedral in Newport today along with Ruth Jones MP and Gerald Jones MP. Cherry Vann is the eleventh Bishop of Monmouth, and the diocese’s first ever female bishop.
I wish the Bishop all the best in her new role serving Church in Wales congregations across Gwent, including in Newport East.
