The Rev. Susan Bunton Haynes was ordained and consecrated as
the 11th bishop of the Diocese of Southern Virginia at 11 a.m. on

Approximately 1,300 people attended the historic service, and over 1,000
watched the live stream, as Haynes became the first woman bishop in the
diocese's 128-year history. Presiding Bishop Michael Curry led the
service as chief consecrator. The Rt. Rev. Edward S. Little II, seventh
bishop of Northern Indiana, was the preacher. Read more here.
