Last Friday, the Provost of the Woodard Corporation, Bishop Jonathan Meyrick, and the Senior Provost, Canon Brendan Clover, joined the Hurst Community for a Chapel service to install Janneke Blokland as Chaplain of the college, and Jonathan Womack as Assistant Chaplain.
Despite the restrictions on numbers in the Chapel, the entire Senior School was able to join together, albeit in different venues, thanks to live-streaming. Bishop Jonathan preached on the importance of community, faithfulness and service, after which the two Chaplains were duly commissioned and installed.
“ It was a real pleasure to welcome Governors and local clergy to celebrate this occasion, marking a new beginning in the life of the Chapel and Chaplaincy ” Janneke Blokland, Chaplain
