New Bishop for Cork Cloyne Ross

Venerable Andrew Orr, currently archdeacon of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, has been elected Bishop of the diocese, succeeding Dr. Paul Colton after a historic vote by the Episcopal Electoral College. With decades of pastoral experience—including roles as archdeacon of Ossory and Leighlin and multiple parish assignments—Orr brings deep local roots and a commitment to both spiritual leadership and environmental stewardship. His consecration is imminent, and he’s already expressing gratitude and excitement for the new chapter ahead, alongside his wife, Very Reverend Susan Green, and their three adult children. The Archbishop of Dublin hailed the election, signaling a hopeful future for the Church of Ireland in the region. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
