What's Your Vocation

Over this last weekend, I've been giving thanks for the 10 years since my ordination.  Only a minor milestone compared to many of my colleagues - so I've not been making any fuss about it.  However, coupled with the ordination, on Saturday, of two of my very good friends, these occasions led to some rumination in yesterday's sermons about the 'vocation' of all Christian people.  To read yesterday's sermon on the topic, please click here

Dressing up...

Here's a shot of me and my Bishop, the Rt Rev'd Christopher Foster, at my 'Collation and Induction' as the new Rector of Havant.
