VIEW IMAGES FROM THE CEREMONY
This years candidates were the first intake of new clergy following the Diocese's launch of Capital Vision 2020, a strategy for serving London in a way that is 'confident, compassionate and creative'.
At the service, the Bishop of London preached a sermon encouraging the deacons as they take on their new ministry.
He began by saying to the congregation: "You could have been at Wimbledon; you could have been with Mick Jagger at Glastonbury, but you have chosen to be here because this calling and commissioning of thirty new deacons as agents of the compassion of God that we see in Jesus Christ has the potential to make a transforming impact on our church, our own country and beyond."
