This is a richly deserved reward for the man who has served the people of Bermondsey so faithfully and with such dedication for so long.
Warm congratulations to you, Simon, from your church family of St James and St Anne's.
As usual, a full cooked breakfast, great company, and an excellent talk by Mike (right) a retired vicar who has perhaps more than his fair share of the kind of difficulties that life can throw at you.
'Where is God when the bad things happen?' was the theme of this morning's talk which had the men enthralled.
It wasn't so much that Mike had all the answers to those 'whys? which we ask when things go wrong, but just that he had found that God had been with him through it all, and had brought him through it.
As one of the men said afterwards - it was his first Bermondsey men's brekkie - 'it just shows the difference faith can make.'
