The Friends of the Diocese held their annual reunion yesterday at Southwark Cathedral.  Bishop Robert and Bishop Andrew were both in attendance and took part in leading the choral evensong, which was a beautiful time of fellowship.  The Very Rev'd Dr Mark Oakley, Dean of Southwark (formally an Archdeacon in the Diocese in Europe), warmly welcomed the Friends and reflected of the Diocese in Europe that our "..existence speaks such an important message in an increasingly polarised world."

The Friends then enjoyed socialising and time together.  Guy Milton was also warmly welcomed as the new Chair of the Friends Committee by Bishop Robert.

This is an exciting time to consider joining the Friends as they look to future plans.  You can find more information and sign up to their newsletter here: Friends of the Diocese
