STEETON-with-Eastburn has a new vicar.
A service of institution and induction has taken place at St Stephen's Church for the Rev Dr Sally Pickering.
Bishop of Bradford the Right Rev Dr Toby Howarth, and Archdeacon of Bradford the Venerable Dr Andy Jolley, officiated.
A commendation was given by the Rev Phil Carmen, vicar of St Andrew's Church, Starbeck, where the Rev Dr Pickering completed her curacy.
The service was well attended.
The St Stephen's Church congregation was joined by clergy and worshippers from St Andrew's, plus members of Steeton Methodist Church and various other representatives from the parish.
Following the service, light refreshments were served in St Stephen's church hall.
