26th September 2020The Stole has arrived and date of ordination!
Dear family and friends,
My ordination stole finally arrived this morning and is sitting beside me as I type this update.
I haven't unwrapped it yet. On receiving it through the post, I found myself surprisingly overcome with emotion, which I now realise is due to the fact that this was the last project that my father and I planned together before he died.
When I finally unwrap the stole from its packaging, the project will be over, and will mark another step in saying goodbye to my Dad, which I don't think I'm ready to say right now.
I will post some photos up in the coming days. But in the meantime, I just want to say thank you once again to everyone who contributed to the creation of the stole. The good news is that my ordination is going ahead on Sunday 11th October, at 10am in Bristol Cathedral. This is usually a big occasion, but because of COVID-19, attendance will be restricted.
There will, however, be a livestream on the Bristol Cathedral YouTube page, which you can view here.

It would be lovely if you could join me on my ordination day!
