"Shine as a light in the world
to the glory of God the Father."
An expectedly large group of over 30 candidates from Dulwich Deanery were confirmed on St Matthew's Day. Matthew's Gospel inspired us as Christians 'young and old' in the service. @southwark.anglican.org

A fresh map has arrived on the wall in the Woolwich Episcopal Area Office. About 100 of our @southwark.anglican.org churches, with loads of brilliant clergy and people; and almost a million souls here in just this bit of God's acre.

How lovely to catch up with Greg - first time meeting up since 1973. Shared experience and heritage appears to endure! We’ve each been shepherds of different parts of God’s flock for quite a wee while now. With Kay and Diana too.

Every sympathy to Roman Catholic clergy who are having to work out how the rubrics require you to mark the death of the Pope in the octave of Easter. When you’re exhausted by the last week to start off with.
