To Southwark Cathedral for the installation of Jay Colwill as Canon Missioner (fourth from left in the photo).
A huge crowd from Jay's old parish of Christ Church, Orpington, came to give their support this afternoon as Jay was formally commissioned by the Bishop of Southwark, for his new work of encouraging mission and evangelism across the Diocese.
An added bonus so far as we are concerned is that Jay and his family are living in one of the canon's houses in our parish. We were delighted that they could all worship with us at St James on Easter Day and I am thrilled that Jay has already discovered the delights of the Servewell Cafe in West Lane, so a big welcome to our new parishioners, and may God bless you in your new home, and in your new work for him.
