A wonderful evening on 4th September 2025, when we gathered in St Mary’s Kidlington to witness and celebrate the licensing of Revd Oliver Harrison as our Team Vicar. “We” included not only many from the parish, but friends and relatives of Oliver and his wife Jessica, together with parishioners from Tamworth (making sure they were in safe hands!). The service, conducted by Bishop Steven, included all the legalities, including swearing oaths of allegiance to the King and the Bishop, giving of symbols of ministry and welcoming by representatives of the church and the community. And it was followed by a grand buffet in the Refectory.
Here is just a selection of the photos taken; for more see https://photos.app.goo.gl/XLXV14gT7rti3sCx6
We are all looking forward to meeting and working with Oliver, and Jessica, so will gradually learn more about them. But for starters we have the introduction he sent a couple of months ago here.
