On Sunday 11th February, at 3.30pm, the Catholic Bishop of Arundel and Brighton will be installed as a Canon of Honour in Chichester Cathedral, in what the Bishop of Chichester calls "an expression of friendship and unity."

Dr Martin Warner, said today: "It is a privilege for us in the diocese of Chichester and an expression of friendship and unity in Christ that Bishop Richard Moth, the Bishop of Arundel and Brighton, is to become a Canon of Honour.  He joins other ecumenical Canons of Honour who represent our ecumenical partnership with Lutherans and Roman Catholics in Bavaria and with the diocese of Chartres."

The two bishops will be present at Choral Evensong in the Cathedral for the short ceremony which takes place at the start of the service.

Bishop Moth said today: "It is a great privilege for me to be installed as a Canon of Honour, a wonderful ecumenical gesture from Bishop Martin and the Anglican Diocese of Chichester."
