London, Oct 11 (ANI): Former Bond girl Shannon Ledbetter has been officially inducted as a canon - a permanent member of cathedral clergy - at Blackburn Cathedral after quitting her acting and modelling career for a role in the church.
Shannon starred alongside Pierce Brosnan in the 1997 film 'Tomorrow Never Dies.'
After quitting her acting career, she studied theology in the United States and Liverpool where she completed her PhD and was ordained in Liverpool in 2003.
Shannon, 47, was ordained by The Bishop of Blackburn Reverend Nicholas Reade and Dean of Blackburn, the Very Reverend Christopher Armstrong.
"It is wonderful to be in Blackburn. I'm really excited about this opportunity to work in the church as a community canon," the Daily Mail quoted Canon Ledbetter as saying.
"I'm hoping to bring the Cathedral services into the community as well as working with Blackburn College and developing partnerships and relationships with diverse sections of the community," she stated. (ANI)
