Yesterday was quite a long day of teaching with my colleague J, as we led our Ministes in Training, and a small number of external participants, through a day exploring and reflecting on legal, theological, liturgical, practical and pastoral matters connected with marriage and weddings.  It was quite a long day: around seven hours classroom time, with plenty of decent length breaks.

This is the part of my role that brings the most joy - equipping a new generation of ministers to serve churches, chaplaincies and community projects in ways that compassionate, competent and creative... and, even though I can't make it alliterate, adequately theologically informed.
