A new beginning...

Andrew Metcalfe —

Bishop Steve (former Bishop of Dunedin) has been licensed as Priest in Charge at St James' Church, Sutton-on-Hull in Hull, Yorkshire.

Rev'd Eric Kyte (currently on sabbatical in the UK) was able to be present and it was wonderful to have the former Assistant Bishop of Wellington (The Rt Rev'd Dr Eleanor Sanderson) present the licence in her role of Bishop of Hull.

A message of greeting was also read at the service from our Diocese to +Steve and Lorraine - plus, it appears that Marley continues her church attendance...
