Greetings and good wishes in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ from the 550+ Bishops of the Anglican Communion and their wives/husbands gathered here in the University of Kent in Canterbury. I arrived safely after a relative short journey conpared with so many others. Then of course the queing started!! It seemed like hours before we were in the correct rooms with the correct luggage.
Some Bishops were not happy that the rooms were all singles! Those in the Celtic Fringe particularly I think. Anyway in conversation with my Bishop of St Andrews Diocese I discovered there had been some furniture removing going on.!
A photograph shows Jane Williams speaking and introducing the Spouses part of the Conference with which I am most closely involved.
Another shows the building of the Vine which many in our Parish have contributed leaves to. Today and tomorrow the Bishops are spending time in Canterbury Cathedral at a silent Retreat. They will be back here for supper soon. Souses, mainly women have been getting to know each other. I have met special people from around the world that I know from my travels with the Mothers' Union.
We even have at least one baby with us."
