I have spent the day along with other Training Incumbents at St Stephen's House, Oxford with our prospective Assistant Curates. This day, now known as "Incumbents' Day," will for many of us remain affectionately known as "Fathers' Day."
After the morning session contemplating the world of expectations, realistic and unrealistic we all moved into Bodley's splendid conventual church for a Mass which showed the glories of Anglican Patrimony at its best.
After lunch together we then spent the afternoon with our prospective colleagues with their Course Tutor and Group Tutors considering their continuing formation in its widest sense.
It was good to see Daniel and his wife, Alexandra, once again and to spend the day thinking ahead somewhat to the delights of his Ordination and the prospect of a new era in our parish life as Daniel and Alex prepare to join us.
