Bishop Christopher commends our Deacon candidates to your prayers: “Each one of our brothers and sisters to be ordained, God willing, Deacon at Petertide, has been on a journey of faith and discernment that has led them to this day. The Church has now discerned God’s call on their lives and their ordination as Deacons will be a moment of great joy – both for them and their families as well as for the Church and the parishes where they will serve. The Bishops of Woolwich, Croydon and Kingston join me in welcoming each of them to the Diocese. They bring diverse gifts and I commend them and their parishes to your prayers as they continue to learn, to grow and experience all that God has in store for them.”
