On Saturday the 1st of February, the Second Secretary attended the licensing of the Reverend Arani Sen as the new Chancellor and Senior Chaplain of Holy Trinity Brussels, the Pro-Cathedral of the Diocese in Europe.

The Right Revd Dr Robert Innes carried out the licensing and presided at a service that included worship in various languages, and which was attended by clergy from across Belgium, the Diocese in Europe and the Church of England, including the Bishop of London, The Right Reverend and Right Honourable Dame Sarah Mullally, and the Venerable Sam van Leer, archdeacon of Benelux. Arani was also welcomed by ecumenical friends from the city of Brussels and a representative from the British embassy. A lovely reception followed in Walker Hall.

The Central Committee also wishes the Revd. Arani and his wife, Alison, many blessings as they begin this new chapter and we wish them all the best as they settle into life in Belgium.
