On 23rd November 2002, WATCH members in Newcastle and
Durham dioceses joined together
to mark the 10th anniversary of the historic vote in
General Synod.
We met in the Hatton Gallery, Newcastle University
for a celebration of the Eucharist followed by a party
(sparkling wine and nibbles).
- Tea, 4:00pm
- Eucharist, 4:30pm
- Party, 5:30pm (approx)
The celebrant was Caroline Dick and during the Eucharist there were
reflections by David Jenkins, Val Shedden and Christina Rees.
All who wish to celebrate the priestly ministry of women were welcome.
