At yesterday morning's Eucharist thanks to the presence of fellow parishioners Martin Bleby and Peter Roper we amassed 85 years of diaconateMartin 35, Peter 24 and myself 26. It doesn't mean much, on one level, though anything that notes staying power in today's church is worthy of note.
There is more that could be added in this parish, Peter W over 30, Kym over 15 and John over 50!! And Pam who as over 30 years as a deaconess (ordained by Bishop Bruce Rosier using the ordinal). That is also to beg the question about the active diaconate that is exercised by faithful lay folk.
It all seems some what worthy of note.
