Re: The Church in Wales has elected its first woman bishop.<br />
Canon Joanna Penberthy said she is &quot;immensely humbled&quot; to become the 129th Bishop of St Davids in Pembrokeshire.<br />
An electoral college of 47 people from across Wales spent two days locked in St Davids Cathedral before coming to their decision.<br />
Canon Penberthy, 56, who was appointed the cathedral's first woman canon in 2007, will take over the role from the retiring Wyn Evans.<br />
The decision to allow women bishops was made following a landmark vote in September 2013.<br />
The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, called it &quot;an historic moment&quot; for the church.<br />
&quot;What is really important to stress is that Joanna wasn't elected because she was a woman but because she was deemed to be the best person to be a bishop,&quot; he said.
