Reader Antony Bardsley has been received into our diocese.  Antony was tonsured some years ago in our sister Diocese of Sourozh but has more recently been serving in the local Antiochian Deanery.  He is now part of our diocese and will serve with Deacon Andrew and Reader Mark at the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God: the Joy of All Who Sorrow, in Mettingham.

We welcome Reader Antony and pray that his service may be a blessing to the church in Mettingham as it continues to grow.
