Frances Hiller - now an Honorary Minor Canon of Southwark Cathedral

Deacon Frances with Dean Andrew Nunn
Congratulations to the new Honorary Minor Canon of Southwark Cathedral! 

Yesterday evening at Evensong, the Revd Deacon Frances Hiller was admitted to this office and installed by Dean Andrew Nunn. Honorary Minor Canons assist the Chapter in the ministry and mission of the Cathedral Church, and take part in the daily work of prayer and praise as members of the Cathedral Foundation.

Southwark Cathedral (The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overy is the full title) has been Deacon Frances' Sunday community for some time now. The Dean spoke of how important it was to have a "distinctive deacon" as a Minor Canon. We congratulate Frances on this appointment which recognises her gifts in liturgy and preaching. As Dean Nunn prayed over her "May the Lord enable you to use in this place the gifts he has entrusted to you, to his glory". 

Of course Frances continues her "day job" as my chaplain.
