Today I had to go to Cumnor near Oxford to learn how to be a surragate. No, it's got nothing to do with giving birth! It's about standing in for the Archdeacon, etc... so that couple's can swear at you - that they are free to mary. It's all about common licences and legal stuff...
There were eight of us there. A couple were friends of mine. We looked at each other and wondered why we were there:
a) we didn't say "no"
b) we've been around for a while
c) we've not blotted our copy book too badly - yet
All very interesting. I learnt a lot about the other people's wedding registers...
In the evening we had our first joint church council of the new year - St Mary's Church Council and All Saints' Servant Leadership Team. A laid back evening.
It's interesting to watch All Saints' construct a leadership team. It would be good to compare notes between the churches doing similar things - e.g. Water Eaton. There may be some lessons to learn...
(One day to go...)
