The main part of the ceremony saw the Bishop of London, The Right Reverend Richard Chartres, lay his hands on the heads of the candidates, before they were each vested in a white stole symbolising the liturgical role of deacons in the Eucharist. At the end of the service they were given the principal symbol of ministry - the New Testament.
READ THE BISHOP'S SERMON
Amidst the celebration, the congregation remembered with thanksgiving Steph Potter, who was to be ordained, but sadly passed away aged 51 in February. We pray for her family and the parish that would have received her as a deacon.
