a summer's day
a lovely summer's day in ripon yesterday to celebrate ian's ordination - the cathedral was packed, overloading my senses and bringing to my mind all the different experiences i have had in the church with celebrations and sadness - right now is a sadder time for me, but it was so good to stand with ian and witness his vows and cheer him on - he will be a fabulous nsm in a yorkshire dale - half way through his wife linda leant over and whispered in my ear 'can you believe we're anglicans after all our many journeys ?!?' - they are ready to do this - though i am not sure if the c of e is ready for them !! congratulations ian, a fine occasion for a summer's day - a very merry celebration
