Mystery as installation of Plymouth bishop cancelled for second time in under a year

The installation of a new Bishop of Plymouth has been mysteriously suspended for the second time in under a year.

Auxiliary Bishop Philip Moger of Southwark was due to be installed as the 10^th bishop of the diocese tomorrow.

But in a shock statement the bishop-elect has announced that the installation will not go ahead as planned.

Bishop Moger said: “In the very last few days, concerns have been raised of a personal nature to which I must attend immediately. This will take a little time.

“I have therefore agreed with all directly concerned to delay my installation as the new Bishop of Plymouth until these processes have been completed.
