Priest reinstated



Some of you might recall a row that emerged when Christ Church, Surbiton Hill, held a service to ordain priests that were "irregular". My recollection is that they had some Bishop over from Africa who held the ordinations of some guy who had never been trained as priests - I am not even sure they questioned whether he believed in God! In any case the ordinations took place in Kings Charles' Road, Surbiton.

The Bishop of Southwark suspended the priest who arranged all this but now the Archbishop of Canterbury has reinstated him. So there is a right royal church row  going on and Surbiton is at the centre of it!

Heh, Kevin, as a Surbiton man, why don't you help the Surbiton Festival Committee make Surbiton's biggest day even better? I'm sure they would love to hear from you.
