The Rt Revd Dr Dagmar Winter will be installed as the 27th Bishop of Edinburgh at St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh at 11am on Saturday. Due to numbers, entry to the event is by invitation only, but you can watch it live using the link in the comments.
The installation of the Rt Rev Dr Dagmar Winter as Bishop of Edinburgh will take place at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh on Saturday 30 May.
The Service of Translation and Installation, led by the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Most Rev Mark Strange, will begin at 11am and will be streamed live at this link. Due to limited capacity at the cathedral, it is an invitation-only event.
The sermon will be delivered by the Rt Rev Graham Usher, Bishop of Norwich, the lead bishop on the environment for the Church of England. The Bishop-Elect, who leaves the post of Bishop of Huntingdon as part of this translation to Edinburgh, first worked together with Bishop Usher – then a Rector - at Hexham Abbey in 2004, and later both became bishops in East Anglia.
"I am so looking forward to the installation service to be the next Bishop of Edinburgh and to worshipping with you all,” said the Bishop-Elect, who will become the 27th Bishop of Edinburgh. “It is wonderful that so many people from the Diocese are going to be in St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, alongside those associated with my previous ministry and personal friends.
“My huge thanks to Provost John Conway, Director of Music Duncan Ferguson and the Cathedral staff as well as the Diocesan Office team for all they have done in preparation for this occasion. I trust it will encourage each of us further to 'grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ' (Ephesians 4:15)."
Bishop Dagmar will celebrate the Eucharist during the service.
