Diocese of Lichfield
DIOCESE OF LICHFIELD THE EUCHARIST WITH THE INAUGURATION OF A NEW MINISTRY The Institution by The Right Reverend Dr Michael Ipgrave Bishop of Lichfield and the Induction and Installation by The Venerable Paul Thomas Archdeacon of Salop of The Reverend Catherine Sarah McBride as Vicar of St Mary’s, Drayton-in-Hales St Mary’s Church, Market Drayton 22nd November 2017 7.00pm Welcome! This service is both a legal act and an act of worship. It marks the beginning of Catherine’s ministry here and a new stage in the life of this parish. As the mission and ministry of the Church is the responsibility of all baptised people, so we come together with Catherine and Bishop Michael to celebrate our ministry and offer ourselves afresh to God. The service has a number of distinct elements: The Gathering of the people, including the Presentation of Catherine by the Patron The Liturgy of the Word, in which we read the bible together and discern what it has to say to our lives The Liturgy of Institution, in which the tasks of ministry are spelled out, and its collaborative nature is emphasised as the context for Catherine’s ministry, which is then formally inaugurated. The institution is the admission by the bishop of a vicar into the bishop’s spiritual oversight. The induction is the admission by the archdeacon of a vicar into the possession of the church buildings, churchyards and parsonages. The installation is the formal placing by the archdeacon of a priest in her seat in the church. Catherine is then duly welcomed. -
