Rev Potter
by sula36 @ 2008-06-22 - 17:03:55

Today was the institution of our new Vicar, Rev Peter Potter. The sun was shining, as Summer has officially arrived and seems to be staying a while, we had a flock of clergy ( is that the collective noun? )
and a good turn out as they say up north.
Rev Potter has come from Scotland, and did joke he had bought some traditional Scottish weather with him - I am glad he hadn't :)
It was a really good service. Great hymns, and good liturgy. I was on reading, along with the British Ambassador, so felt pretty chuffed to be picked.
The Archdeacon gave an "interesting" sermon referring to the recent marriage of homosexual priests in the CofE which he obviously does not agree with. His point was that we are judged by what we do, and a lot of people can be offended by certain actions, so we should consider what we do carefully.
Rev Potter remained fairly quiet throughout, but I am sure he will be fine. Never judge a book by its cover as they say, and having had about 6 locums over the past few months, I can vouch for that one B)

Sorry - the word clergy is already a collective noun!

I hope Rev Potter turns out to be a wizard at his job!!!

Only joking! :))

A good start, if the weather's anything to go by.

And congratulations on being selected to do the reading - it must have been quite daunting.

I was a little nervous, but then so was the Ambassador, so that made me feel a lot happier :)
