Over the weekend, another bishop was consercrated in the Assyrian Church of the East, the second in as many months.

Rev?d Fr Ninos Elya is the new Bishop-Elect for the Diocese of Victoria and New Zealand, blessed by the hands of of His Holiness Mar Gewargis III Sliwa. He will officially be called Mar. Beniamin Elya. Born in 1985, this makes him the youngest bishop in the Assyrian Church of the East.

Congratulations to him but I couldn't care less. Why is an annunciation of a bishop of any importance?

Was about to say that. It isn't even biblical, to start with. According to the scriptures, the only mediator between man and god is Jesus. There's a reason why the curtains ripped when Jesus died. I don't understand how Catholics and Orthodox have deviated away so much from the New Testament. They're being too similar to Jews and Sanhedrin.
