Update on our Ordinands As the academic year comes to an end, a look at what lies ahead for our placement students from Trinity College: Emma: As my second year at Trinity and first year at the Cathedral draws to an end, I am tired(!) but excited about what is to come. This summer I will be undertaking placements with the Bristol Minister for the Arts and a local hospital chaplaincy team. After this I am overjoyed to be getting married, and moving into our first home. Come September I look forward to rejoining you for another year, and learning more about the richness of Cathedral life and worship. Thank you for your welcome and support thus far!’ Pippa: Thank you all for this last year, being part of the Cathedral community has been wonderful and I’ll miss it very much. I am going just up the road for my curacy, to Cotham Parish Church and St Paul's Clifton, being ordained at the Cathedral on 30 June, followed by a reception in the Cathedral garden – please do come and share a glass of fizz! Sam: Whilst it is not yet clear where I will be next year, I will primarily be focusing on my doctoral studies as part of my training for ordained ministry before beginning curacy.
