At our annual gathering a few weeks ago we were delighted to celebrate a number of ordinations and commissionings that have taken place throughout the network this past year. Within Ecclesia we like to say that these significant events are best “locally coordinated and conducted – regionally involved and affirmed – and nationally celebrated and recognized”. Here are those we are celebrating this year:
