Ordination of priests

Here are the highlights of a special service at which Bishop Jonathan ordained 11 candidates as priests in Portsmouth Cathedral. The Revs Mary Ball, Nikki Bryant, Nathan Hamilton, Jane Kendal, Abbie Lynch, Chris Nicol, Kitty Price, Rachel Rider, Jane Shyvers, Josh Thomas and Deb Henning Vears became priests at an ordination service that included the bishop laying his hands on their heads and anointing their heads and hands with oil. Friends, family and fellow congregation members packed the cathedral to support them, as they took on this new role. For more details, see: www.portsmouth.anglican.org/ordinations
