@vicarkaren @2D0XPS Here is my collation and induction here in 2022 by the Bishop of London (now Archbishop of Canterbury) and the Mayor of Westminster

[Jonathan Kester @JonathanKester]

@vicarkaren @2D0XPS I have never seen myself as chaplain to a congregation and gave worked in collaborative relationships with MPs, Ward Councillors , Neighbourhood Forum groups, other faith leaders. Non church schools, colleges and universities . I have simply gone with diocesan practice

[Jonathan Kester @JonathanKester]

@vicarkaren @2D0XPS I was collated and inducted here in a Mass celebrated by the Bishop of London, just as I was in my previous parish in West Hampstead by the Bishop of Edmonton. I think it depends on the Diocese and the Bishop

[Jonathan Kester @JonathanKester]

@philipcbaldwin Many congratulations. So glad you have been reelected

30 years to the day since I was first licensed in the Diocese of London as Chaplain to the Bishop of Edmonton… tempus fugit @dioceseoflondon

@UrbanHermit15 I’ve had mine as soon as I was offered it 😊

[Jonathan Kester @JonathanKester]

@calvinrobinson @FatherHagood Just for accuracy’s sake, I am not “married to another bloke” or to a woman for that matter but rather in a civil partnership. Like you l, I am not (yet) a member of the worldwide western Catholic Church under the jurisdiction of the successor of Peter and the Vicar of Christ

[Jonathan Kester @JonathanKester]

@calvinrobinson @FatherHagood I am also and have been for more than the 33 years of my ordained ministry and as a seminarian and lay person before that a regular penitent so I’ll leave that to God and my Fr Confessor. Prayers for you as you continue in ministry.

[Jonathan Kester @JonathanKester]

In the Calvary garden @CR_Mirfield where I used to sit and ponder 🤔 🙏 a lot as a seminarian at @CoRMirfield
