This is a very important re-dedication of ministry in the heart of Holy Week. The Oil of Chrism (for Baptism) and the Oil of Healing (for the Sacrament of Healing) are consecrated by the Bishop, the Bishop and Clergy re-affirm the promises of their Ordination, and Lay Readers re-affirm the commitment made at their Licensing.

We will also welcome and install two newly-appointed Canons of the Cathedral – the Revd Canon Elaine Garman and the Revd Canon Christoph Wutscher.

All members of the Clergy (in alb and white stole) and all Lay Readers (in cassock, surplice and scarf) are invited to participate, and all members of the Diocese are invited to join them. Clergy should bring emptied, cleaned and prepared Oil Stocks, ready to be filled.

Lunch will be provided, so please let the Diocesan Office know (bishopsec@standrews.anglican.org) if you and others from your church will be coming, and if you have special dietary needs.
