While the Church of England wrings its hands over the appointment of women bishops, Africa's first woman Anglican bishop is determined to get on with the job without being hung up on the gender debate.
"All leaders are ordained by God," said Swazi primate Ellinah Wamukoya, 61, skimming over the issue that has brought her worldwide attention.
"It is not like any other post where you apply. Here God calls you and you respond to that call.
"If you do respond, your mind should be focused on what God says to the position to which He has called you. I have responded to the call of God."
But the timing of that call could hardly have been more dramatic or contentious.
Her enthronement as Anglican bishop of the Diocese of Swaziland came in the week the Anglicans' mother church, the Church of England, voted not to allow women bishops. Outgoing Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams described opposition to the move as "wilfully blind". Wamukoya's first task will be to oversee 42 reverends of the Church both spiritually and in financial management - no mean feat amid fears the Swazi Church is in economic turmoil.
