[BBC News] 7 Oct 2008--Members of the Church in Wales are taking part in a secret ballot to elect a new bishop of Bangor.

A 46-member electoral college will vote inside a locked Bangor Cathedral to choose the 81st bishop.

Among those expected to be considered are the Archdeacons of Bangor, Meurig Llwyd, and St Davids, John Holdsworth.

Also mentioned is the Very Reverend Jeffrey John, Dean of St Albans, who could become the first openly gay clergyman to become a bishop in Wales.
