It's a great pleasure to be able to launch my first post as a writer for this blog. My first week in the parish has been busy but joyful, and it has been very good mental gymnastics trying to remember everyone's names. Forget Sudoku and cryptic crosswords - becoming an assistant curate will keep your brain active...Thanks to the indefatigable activities of my esteemed colleague James Bradley, who is writing for S. John's Sevenoaks's blog, there are some more photographs available of the ordination. Go to his flickr page to see more. There are also some snaps of another colleague, Fr Michael Childs, now assistant curate of Swinton, in the diocese of Sheffield.
NB Thanks to Fr James Wilkinson and to ACS for the High Mass set and concelebration chasubles respectively, and to S. Stephen's House for the pontifical dalmatic.
