Bishop Christopher (1194 words)
	July it was announced from Downing Street that the Rt Revd Christopher Hill, currently Bishop of Stafford in the Diocese of Lichfield, is to be the ninth Bishop of Guildford.
	Bishop Christophers election will then be confirmed in an arcane judicial ceremony set within an act of worship held at St Mary-le-Bow in the City of London.
	Once the court is satisfied, the election is confirmed and from that moment the Bishop Elect becomes the Bishop of the Diocese de iure and de facto.
