John Stott RIP

Millions throughout the world have reason to thank God for the life of John Stott.

He was, for many years, Rector of All Souls, Langham Place, in the heart of London but his influence extended to every continent. His graciousness and profound faith have been an inspiration.

Our hearts go out to all those most directly affected by his passing but proper sadness is also accompanied by joy at a life well lived by someone who was, above all, a friend of God.

Rest eternal, grant unto him, O Lord
and let light perpetual shine upon him.

Two new prebendaries

I am very pleased to announce that The Revd John Coles and The Revd Jeremy Crossley have accepted my invitation to become prebendaries of St Paul’s Cathedral.

John Coles has pioneered a constantly growing and changing congregation at St Barnabas, Woodside Park for nearly 30 years, while also being deeply involved in the development of the New Wine network of churches which he now leads with his wife Anne. Recently he has begun to establish missional communities in North London. He will occupy the stall of Kentish Town.

Jeremy Crossley, Rector of St Margaret Lothbury, will soon have been in the Diocese for 25 years and during that time has had a hugely influential ministry, especially while developing St James the Less Pimlico and more recently as Area Dean of the City, Director of Ordinands and Director of Post Ordination Training. Like John, he is also involved with new initiatives for growth. He will occupy the stall of St Pancras.

John and Jeremy are representative of so many priests and lay men and women who work tirelessly in this Diocese serving our Lord Jesus Christ, the people of God and all who live and work in this great City. “I cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers.”

I hope many of you will join us at Evensong on September 11th to welcome these brethren as they are installed in the Cathedral.
