On behalf of Bishop Robert and the Ministry Team, with great joy I announce the following persons are to be ordained this Michaelmas (God willing):

Please note: Attendance at the ordination services this Michaelmas tide will necessarily be limited to enable the physical distancing required in the buildings being used. The congregation assembled for these services, therefore, will be made up of those who have direct parts in the liturgy, a set number of guests of each ordinand, and invited representatives of the clergy and laity associated with each ordinand’s ministry.  

Please announce these ordinations in your churches so that the candidates can be upheld in the prayers of the members of our congregations as they make their final preparations towards ordination as priest and deacon.

Yours in Christ

+David
