Taylor kneels before the co-consecrating bishops during the litany at the July 8 consecration service in Los Angeles, which included some 20 bishops from as far away as Kenya; two choirs, a brass band and representatives of the diocese, the ecumenical and interfaith community, and the wider church. Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, center, is flanked at left by Los Angeles Bishops Chester Talton (bishop suffragan, resigned) and J. Jon Bruno (bishop diocesan), and at right by Diane Jardine Bruce (bishop suffragan), and Sergio Carranza (bishop assistant, resigned). Photo: Donna Machado
