The churchwardens were delighted to receive a letter recently from the
Bishop of Gloucester announcing that he had invited Father Stephen to
become an Honorary Canon of Gloucester Cathedral, and that Fr Stephen had
accepted.
Bishop Michael went on to say that Fr Stephen's appointment as an
Honorary Canon is a recognition of both his outstanding ministry in
Prestbury and his service as Rural Dean. It also says something about his
relationship with Bishop Michael's own ministry, and about the place of
Prestbury in the life of the diocese.
Fr Stephen's Collation and Installation as a Canon of Gloucester
Cathedral was during Evensong on Sunday 7 November at 3.00 pm. A large
group of supporters from across the Team Ministry were able to attend.
Congratulations to Fr Stephen and continuing thanks for all that he
does, both seen and unseen, through his ministry here.
As a Canon of the cathedral, Fr Stephen will always have his own seat
for all the grand occasions
