On Saturday, 17th October, the Cathedral brought together the different lay ministries of the diocese in a service of celebration. New Readers were licensed, Pastoral Assistants, Evangelists and Children's workers renewed their vows and the life of the living church was celebrated. The overarching theme is that of all being sent out to minister, and returning to the 'common centre' in order to be renewed for the work God has called us to do, and the people he has called us to be, as part of His mission to the world.
