The chapter met to sing the Guild Office in the beautiful church of St Mary Magdalen on Wednesday, 10th November. Revd William Whyte officiated for the Office and Revd Dr Peter Groves, Vicar of St Mary Magdalen’s, preached and gave Benediction.
Speaking on the eve of Armistice Day and taking remembrance as his theme, Fr Peter reminded us that the Eucharist is the greatest act of remembrance. Later at Benediction, in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament he recalled those who had died in conflict and all the faithful departed, and he read out the names of departed members and supporters from the Chapter Chantry Book.
Our thanks to Fr William and Fr Peter for leading our worship and to Professor David Murray for playing the organ.
Present: Bros. Trevor Langrish, Dennis Dean, Sid Cox, Bruce Armour, Ken Belcher and Ben Heffer; Srs. Angela Dean, Jenny Dowdeswell, Susan Greenaway; Frs William Whyte and Peter Groves; and six supporters.
Apologies: Cllr Clive Tilling.
