On Saturday 7 September, Lindisfarne College of Theology launched their new academic year with an induction day for new students. This year sees a record number of students, with 85 in total.
The day concluded with a service of celebration at St. John’s Meadowfield as the Revd Dr Richard Briggs was licensed as the new Principal of the College.
Richard was licensed by both the Rt Revd Sarah Clark (Bishop of Jarrow and Acting Bishop of Durham) and Rt Revd Dr Helen-Ann Hartley (Bishop of Newcastle) so that he is licensed in both Durham and Newcastle dioceses. Bishop Sarah led the Eucharist while Bishop Helen-Ann preached a sermon on attending to the local context where God has put us.
