As I write to you for the first time since my licensing, I can only say that I am completely buoyed up by an ever-increasing conviction of what an amazing place this is. This is based not least, of course, on the experience of the wonderful service and reception on Sunday 3 May, but I have to say that Sue and I were struck by the warmth and generosity of spirit of all whom we met in the town from the outset as far back as last October. This is a real community- and I most emphatically include in that not only those who come to church regularly or intermittently but also those who never darken the doors of the church - where there is genuine love, care and sensitivity towards one another. How fortunate we are to have joined you all here.
