Hundreds of people gathered today for the official appointment of the new Bishop of Oxford. But his ceremony was overshadowed by controversy - with a man known only as Michael claiming that the Bishop failed to properly investigate allegations of sexual abuse by a priest in the 1980s. Two alleged victims led a peaceful demonstration outside the consecration - calling on the The Rt Rev Dr Steven Croft to address the issues. Reverend Croft becomes the 43rd bishop of Oxford - our reporter Emma Wilkinson went to meet him.
