Lay-reader licensing in Leuven

On 25 June, the Central Committee was out in force at St Martha and St Mary's Anglican Church Leuven to license Sarah Jones as a lay reader in the Church of England. The Chaplain-President, as the former chaplain in Leuven who was initially responsible for Sarah's training, the Vice-President - as the current chaplain in Leuven responsible for Sarah's training, the Secretary-General - as Area Dean of Belgium and Luxembourg and Bishop’s Commissary responsible for licensing Sarah in the Diocese in Europe, and Rebecca Breekveldt - the newly-appointed 2nd Secretary were all present for the occasion, which was followed by a lovely coffee-hour in the sunshine outside the Pauscollege, where the Anglican parish holds its morning services. Welcome, Sarah: we look forward to experiencing your ministry of preaching, teaching and pastoral care in the years to come!
