I had my first nearly full day at the cathedral today starting with daily prayer at 8, followed by Eucharist at 830 quickly followed by chapter meeting from 915 until 3.00pm and then meeting with the Archdeacon until around 5.00pm. To be a total full day I would attend evensong at 5.30 which I’ll do sometimes.

Today was a good day, and a great chance to learn about what has been happening at the cathedral and learn about plans for the future. There are some exciting times ahead.

There are still quite a lot of induction tasks to get through, but for some of tomorrow tomorrow I hope to wander the length of Rochester High Street and do a bit of a prayer walk and attempt to introduce myself to local shop and business owners and maybe others that could be around. I’m pretty scared, but the longer I leave this the harder it will be to start.

Pioneering requires me to step out into the unknown and take some essentials with me. Tomorrow I step out. If you have a spare bit of time tomorrow, please pray (I’m not sure what you should pray for, but pray anyway!)
