Some good news out of the UK today.

The first black woman to become a Church of England bishop will be consecrated during a ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral.

In June it was announced chaplain to the speaker of the house, The Rev Dr Rose Hudson-Wilkin, will be the new Bishop of Dover.

She said she feels a "bit like a bride" ahead of Tuesday's consecration.

Dr Hudson-Wilkin succeeds the Rt Revd Trevor Willmott who retired from the role in May.

Of course I am doing this waiting for the racists and misogynists to come out of the woodwork clutching their pearls. 

And saying congrats to the future Bishop.
