American Canon to English post

The Revd Canon Dr Marilyn McCord Adams (left) was installed at Oxford 
Cathedral as Regius Professor of Divinity and Canon of the Cathedral on 18 
January during Evensong. Canon Adams, an American, here with the Very Revd 
Christopher Lewis, Dean of Christ Church, was appointed to this prestigious 
post by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as Oxford is a royal foundation. 
The Queen's mandate was read at the beginning of the service.

The Rt Revd Fred Borsch, former bishop of Los Angeles, and Mrs Barbara 
Borsch were present at the service as Los Angeles was Canon Adams' home 
diocese. At the same service, the Revd Canon Dr George Pattison (right) was 
installed as Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity and Canon, a post which 
was held by Archbishop Rowan Williams.
