If episcopal ministry can be more glorious than this, I’m not sure how: it was my privilege today to ordain this fabulous cohort of 16 new priests. The Cathedral was rammed, the singing (choral & congregational) was rapturous & the sermon was hugely ‘uplifting’ — & those present will get the point.

A treaty in store @sheffdio.org

Praying for those being ordained priest today by @bishoppete.bsky.social at @sheffieldcathedral.bsky.social in the @sheffdio.org - thanks be to God for your courageous consent to his call to serve and I am so looking forward to getting to know you!
