Ordination in Camden Town

This morning I was officiating at the ordination of Tim Dalton, a new teaching elder in our Camden Town church plant. I spent half an hour wandering the streets looking for the pub where the church meets. I had not realised they had changed pubs since my visit a year ago. I think seven elders laid on hands and prayed for Tim. We were not all Presbyterians as his father took part and he is a retired vicar, John Field gave an excellent exposition of John 21. Afterwards we descended from the upper room to the bar below for a very pleasant Thai buffet lunch. I also met up with an old friend from my undergraduate days. We had not met for over 42 years.
