I want to share with you photos of the installation and consecration ceremony of the first Bishop of Yeshu Darbar held on Nov 4th . It was the very first time I witnessed such a function with various rituals and observances. There was an august gathering leaders and Bishops of various churches from all over India , also a Jewish Rabbi took part.The electronic media had their lenses trained on the colourful and ostentatious events and there was live TV coverage.
