For the last two weeks we have greatly enjoyed having Harry Frost on placement with us in Bermondsey.
Harry is a Southwark ordinand who is training for the ministry at Cranmer Hall in Durham and he came to Bermondsey for a two-week placement, looking at the work of an inner city parish.
During his time with us he participated in schools assemblies, Sunday services (preaching on his last Sunday), Bermondsey Brew, Bible Zone, Ready Steady Grow, the school prayer meeting, afternoon fellowship, the school leavers service at Southwark Cathedral, the Bermondsey Carnival, the Deanery Chapter lunch, Wednesday night church, the ordinations held in St James, and he had a fascinating guided tour of Albins, our local funeral directors.
He met lots of people, toured both parishes, and threw himself into everything.
We enjoyed having him here and we wish him well for the rest of his training and we look forward to seeing where God guides him in the future.
One of the more unusual aspects of his placement was lunch at Lambeth Palace - we do like to offer classy placements here in Bermondsey.
We were attending a reception organised by the Church Pastoral Aid Society, so Harry got to hear about the work of CPAS, as well as administering Holy Communion, alongside the archbishop, in the palace chapel.
