The new Bishop knocks on Cathedral Door. The final phase of "consecration weekend" was the Bishop's seating at the Cathedral. As per tradition, the new Bishop does not just barge in - he knocks. He uses the symbol of his office (a non-utilitarian shepherd's crook) to knock on the door.
His predecessor, Robert Moody, stood too close to the door and was knocked off his feet when the door opened. You might notice that Bishop Ed is prepared to step back, which he did immediately after he knocked.
