First female bishop in Norfolk announced

The venerable Dr Jane Steen, who is currently Archdeacon of Southwark in London, will be the next Bishop of Lynn - making her the first female bishop in the county. Dr Steen, who was born in 1964 and has more than 20 years ministry in the Diocese of Southwark, will be the first suffragan bishop to be consecrated in Norwich Cathedral in more than 100 years, and possibly ever said the Diocese of Norwich.
