Her message was illustrated by references to Ken’s time in numerous parish appointments, many of them bringing forth a ripple of laughter. A highlight of the service was the presentation by Bishop Richard to Ken with the licence as Priest- in-Charge at St Thomas, Left to right: Rev’d Clem Taplin, Rev’d Ken Parker, Bishop Richard, Margaret Carlile and lay reader Tim Green changing his position from long-term locum.

There are nine articles and seventeen learned reviews, the former being almost equally divided between literary studies and archaeology. An interesting article by Bruno Bleckmann seeks to identify the anonymous Vita BHG 365 with a missing fragment of Philostorgius’ Church history relating to the first conflict between Constantine and Licinius in 315–16. Altay Coskun provides a detailed account of the long-running and blood-stained conflict between Pope Damasus and his rival Ursinus in 366–73, and analyses the motives and actions of successive praefecti Viventius and Maximinus in supporting Damasus. Zahi Hawass and Gawdat Gabra describe the excavation of a Coptic hermitage at Mansouria, in an extension of the western desert, 25 km north of the Giza pyramids.
