Once a year during the autumn the Bishop of Dorchester admits new members to the Fellowship of St Birinus (who was the first Bishop of Dorchester in the 7th Century). This is an award for outstanding service to the Church and Community, and candidates are nominated by others (usually Vicar and Churchwardens). This year Jan was nominated for her outstanding service and ministry to Charlbury Church and Community. A number of us attended the service at Dorchester Abbey on Sunday 14th September, when a number of new members were admitted by Bishop Gavin. It was a joyful service. Our warmest congratulations to Jan and heartfelt thanks for her ministry among us.
