False Alarm!

I had an e-mail yesterday inviting me to make an appointment with the Bishop. As I'm currently in his vicinity I wasted no time in making a phone call, and was pleasantly surprised to find myself in his study 7 hours later!

We'd spent all day speculating about which exotic Wilts/Dorset location he might be asking me to consider, but unfortunately we're still none the wiser. That's because I've got a really good bishop!

As I might have mentioned before, we have to fill in a fairly limited tick-box form, which tells him very little about us. So the purpose of today's meeting was for him to hear what I want out of my first placing from my mouth, not from a form. Now we've done that he's in a much better position to match me to a suitable parish and vicar than he was this morning.

The wait continues, and I now expect to hear from him again at the end of August!
