18 OCTOBER 2008

Wow! What a fantastic night.

Richard was ordained into the Ministry by the Chair of the ASU of Churces’ College, Rev Barbara Moxham as a Reverend Minister.  Helen opened the Service and handed over to the Rev Barb to conduct the Ordination Service. Rev. Richard then held a short Service with songs, a meditation and short demonstration after a talk thanking everyone involved in the Service and Ceremony and the past several years. Rev Richard has spent a long time reaching for and attaining this wonderful achievement of being Ordained and a hearty congratulation was offered from all present.

There was a wonderful gathering of almost 40 people to witness Richard’s Ordination and, we feel sure, a good time was had by all present.  After the Service we all shared in a cuppa and nibblies and Rev Richard cut a cake to celebrate his ordination.

Many of the regular attenders helped out in individual ways and thanks to them too. Sandwiches made, hall readied and cleared, and of course the special duties carried out during the Ordination when Richard was presented as a candidate by two who have been with us since the inciption of the Spiritualist Church of Bowral; and the reading of the Seven Principles by another committed member. Much thanks to many people indeed.

 Congratulations Reverend Richard Milne and well done! May your continued work be as well received as that you have already given with much Love Light and Compassion to those who hold you dear to thier hearts.

LOVE AND LIGHT TO YOU ALL IN ALL YOU DO AND SHARE
