Former Anglican Lay-Bishop Becomes Priest
Among them is the former Anglican lay bishop Richard Pain, a father of two. In July 2023 he became the first Welsh Anglican lay bishop to be received into the Church.
Other Anglican lay bishops who have converted in recent years are Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, Rev Jonathan Goodall and Peter Forster. The latter was never ordained a Catholic priest.
The British Ordinariate received its first bishop only a few weeks ago. Rev. David Waller was ordained a bishop by Tucho Fernández on 22 June.
