Earlier this month, Anne Dyer became the first woman to be elected bishop in the Scottish Episcopal Church, 14 years after the vote that allowed such an election.
She will serve as bishop of the united Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney.
Dyer has served as rector of Holy Trinity Church in Haddington, Scotland, since 2011. Dyer is chair of the East Lothian Foodbank and is also a regular lecturer on art and theology.
