Confirmation of Election at St Paul's Cathedral

A legal ceremony, the Confirmation of Election, will take place on 4th February 2013 at St Paul's Cathedral.

The Dean of Canterbury will report to a commission of senior diocesan bishops chaired by the Archbishop of York that Bishop Justin has been elected according to statute, and the Archbishop of York, on behalf of his fellow bishops and the wider Church, will confer on him the ‘spiritualities’ of the diocese of Canterbury.

At this point, he becomes the Archbishop of Canterbury - until then he remains Bishop of Durham.
