Bishop John’s first day

The Diocese of Oxford has put together an album depicting scenes from Bishop John’s day tour of the Diocese in preparation for becoming their new bishop. A couple of photographs I enjoyed:

Meeting the staff over coffee. I like the way the Bishop is at one end of the room and the staff are line up at the other end. Come on someone – start the mingling!

The there’s this one – what bishops do when no-one is looking. If the Bishop of Dorchester had been in my youth group I’d have had a gentle word about not abusing the antique furniture.

I don’t know why there were not any photos from Sarah’s church.

In all seriousness I do wish Bishop John all the best as he takes up his new post.
