In a service held at Leicester Cathedral on November 1st, All Saints Day, David was supported by many people from Emmanuel, clergy from across the Diocese, and Church House Staff with whom he'll be working, in addition to members of the Cathedral congregation. Among the well wishers were Lady Gretton, Lord Lieutenant, The High Sheriff and the Chief Constable. The Choir were in good voice and Emmanuel Church Music Group contributed to leading the worship, and the Lord's Prayer was beautifully sung by tenor David Morris.
David is looking forward to his new role in the diocese. Asked what he thought he expected of the job he said “Known, and yet unknown; familiar yet new; of Loughborough but no longer in Loughborough…. its exciting to be working in the diocese where I have been for twelve years, but now in a completely new role, and I look forward to meeting people and seeing places from a new perspective in the days ahead.”
