Fare ye well

I have just celebrated my last Divine Liturgy at the Chapel of Saint Drostan. As my family and I prepare to move to England for new jobs and new pastoral work, I would like to thank especially Nan and Fr John Ross (of blessed memory) for being there with Claire-Marie and I as we explored the riches of the Orthodox Christian faith. We were received into the Church by Father John, and I served my first Liturgy in that beautiful little chapel in Fetterangus.

We leave behind a small group of dedicated folk and I ask you all to pray for Rachel, Jeff, Yerasmimos, Nicola, Alexei and Olga, and (especially) Nan as they continue to pray together and meet in fellowship. I pray that a new priest can be found who can take the community on to new horizons.

I will keep this blog going, and hope to draw others into contributing and I hope to be reporting from Northampton in due course. We will be celebrating a last Liturgy in the Chapel of the Transfiguration at Rathen (which, unfortunately will have to be closed) on the 10th of May 2008, after which we will have a garden party to say goodbye to our friends.
May God be with you, now and always
Fr T
