25 Years of Parish Ministry

Yes. On July 1st, 1979, I was ordained deacon in St Albans Abbey by Bishop (as he then was) Robert Runcie. Since then I've clocked up 25 years of exclusively parish ministry, which is a good bit more than most bishops and high-flying leaders of the Church, who tend to get fast-tracked out into universities or diocesan appointments. Yet the parishes are the heart and soul and roots of the Church of England. I'm proud to be a part of that.

Today I'm changing to Blogger to maintain my daily blog. For a trial period, shall we say? Well, we'll see.

Welcome to Blogger! Seems the comments work. I haven't enabled them on my blog yet but that was one of the intended results of my aborted move to a new layout. It's good that I don't have to sign in every time to post a comment, I've got Blogger set to remember my user details.

However, the best thing about moving to Blogger will be your Atom xml feed which will mean I don't need to keep checking the page every couple of hours (not that I'm that bored at work :-).
