The first bishop of the diocese to be born in Africa, Bishop Sean (below left) was consecrated in St Christopher’s Cathedral in Bahrain on 24 May, in a service led by the Most Reverend Hosam Naoum (below right), Archbishop in Jerusalem and Primate of the Anglican Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East.

Bishop Sean is the first Anglican bishop to have been consecrated in Bahrain or indeed the wider Gulf region.
