Our rector, the Reverend Mike Smith, was today installed as an Honorary Canon of Christchurch Cathedral, Oxford, before a coachload of well-wishers from the parish. He was one of eleven recognised for their service to the church in the Diocese of Oxford.
On hearing of his recognition, Mike said: “I was surprised and delighted, not just for me but for the church as well. It was lovely for the church to be recognised for all they do too. This honour is one of the few ways people can be recognised and we all felt very affirmed.”
