Licensed Clergy and Lay Ministers welcome their new Bishop

Tuesday 12th June 2007

On 10th June licensed clergy, licensed lay ministers and licensed youth ministers from across the diocese gathered at Christ Church Cathedral for a sung eucharist with Bishop John.

Bishop John preached on the theme :
Enjoy your faith.  Value being an anglican. Take pride in your calling.

The Bishop of Oxford with the bishops of Reading, Buckingham and Dorchester invited those present  to join them in reaffirming their commitment to ministry in the Diocese.

Following the service, Bishop John met members of the congregation in the Master's garden at Christ Church.
