Canon Shaun Darley Celebrates 60 years of Ordained Ministry

Shaun Darley celebrated 60 years of ordained ministry at a special service at St James’s on Sunday 24th September. 

After Shaun presided over communion and gave the blessing, Reverend Andrew read a letter of congratulations from Bishop Michael and a gift was given to Shaun from our churches, to mark the occasion. Shaun spoke about the special home that Winscombe has been to him and Jill since moving here some 26 years ago and praised Jill for her steadfast support for his ministry. 

Afterwards the congregation were invited to share in the celebrations with a glass of fizz and a slice of a special cake decorated with a picture of St Alban’s Abbey where he was ordained.
