An India-born priest has been consecrated as a Bishop in the Church of England. Reverend Malayil Lukose Varghese Muthalaly, known as Saju, is the youngest Bishop in the Church of England.
Saju, 42, will be the next Bishop of Loughborough. He was consecrated with a staff, or crozier, made of Indian rosewood, during a Eucharist service at St Paul's Cathedral in London by the Archbishop of Canterbury on Tuesday.
Saju's recommendation was made by the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson following which he was appointed by Queen Elizabeth II.
