Yesterday our vicar, Anthony Smith, was involved in a ceremony greeting the new Bishop of Durham, Rick Simpson, on the riverbank in Hurworth, which was followed by a reception in Middleton St George. We pray for Bishop Rick as he begins his public ministry with a service tomorrow at 3pm in Durham Cathedral. (You can watch the service on Durham Cathedral's YouTube channel.)

Earlier today, Friday 5 June, a special ceremony took place on the banks of the River Tees. The Rt Revd Rick Simpson was greeted by civic dignitaries and members of the public as he takes up the role of Bishop of Durham.
