AN Upton cleric will be made an honorary canon of Worcester Cathedral tomorrow (Saturday).

Rev Jane Fraser, assistant priest at Upton Parish Church, will be installed by the Bishop of Worcester during the evensong service.

A freelance trainer and consultant on sexuality issues, Mrs Fraser said she was honoured by the appointment.

She said: "It confirms the church's interest in that area of work and makes clear that you don't have to leave your sexuality at the door when you go to church."

Mrs Fraser said the role of an honorary canon was to provide a bridge between the church and the secular world.
