THE CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP OF REPTON
Canon Humphrey Southern will be consecrated Bishop of Repton on Thursday 31st May at St Paul’s Cathedral, London. The diocese is considering arranging a block train booking or coaches to take people to this. To help planning clergy have been asked to check who would be interested in going if this was arranged. If you are interested please tell the Rector as soon as possible.  Replies are needed by Tuesday. Expressions of interest do not at this stage mean a commitment to going.
