Catherine lighting her candle
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the ordination of two of my friends, Catherine Hughes and Monica Douglas-Clarke as OneSpirit Interfaith Ministers..The event was held at the Second Church of Christ Scientist, Notting Hill, in London.
In what I can only describe as a moving, and at times spectacular, ceremony 28 new ministers were given their licence to practice.

It was an honour to share the journey with Catherine as her supervisor for the two years of the course.

There was a part of me that felt like a proud parent because I know just how many personal challenges she had to overcome to arrive at this place.

The event ended with a blistering performance of Taiko Drums lead by Liz Walters
