It was an absolute joy to witness Grace’s ordination to the diaconate on Saturday. The wider community were also able to celebrate with her at our regular COS gathering before she left on her pre-ordination retreat. Grace, it’s been a privilege to walk with you through these past few years of discernment and training. We are overjoyed for you and the church!

It’s hard to believe we pilgrims we are leaving Iona tomorrow morning! The richness experienced here is too much for words so with dirty boots, full journals and heavy hearts, we prepare to depart the sacred isle of Iona that has changed us forever. Onwards!
