| | | Geoff called to Army Chaplaincy |
 Even
If you have not been in Church recently you may have heard that
I’m leaving Parish Ministry to become a Regular Army Chaplain.
In
some ways, this has been a very easy decision to make,given how suited
most people think I am for the task; however,it was a real wrench to
take the step of moving on and then telling everyone about it. I had
been quietly dreading breaking the news. The word
“bombshell” was perhaps the most common one as people left
at the end of the service but there seems to have been very little real
surprise at the reason for me going.
All I can say is a
heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who has made my time at
St. Mungo’s so enriching. The very fact that I’m saddened
to go (despite knowing that it is what I must do to remain faithful to
the ministry I’m called to) speaks volumes for you as individuals
and as a Church.
Despite the sadness now, I believe that St.
Mungo’s has the opportunity to move forward as a vibrant faith
community;hopefully with a minister at least 15 years younger than me.
We have changed and grown in the last couple of years, I trust that is
only the start of something God-honouring and great.
My prayers and best wishes,
Geoff
April 2012
