Solemn Vespers Celebrating the Bicentenary of the death of Bishop Milner

On Sunday 28th June Bishop Timothy Menezes presided at Solemn Vespers of Ss Peter & Paul with some of the deanery priests, Canon Jeremy Dussek from St Peter's Collegiate Church, and many parishioners from across the three churches of our parish. This was to mark the anniversary of the death of Bishop John Milner and the beginning of the building of the extension of the church in 1826. The choir from St Peter's Collegiate Church assisted at the ceremony and Mr Aaron Humphriss gave a talk on Bishop Milner before the opening hymn. It was a wonderful occasion but sadly the Livestream was broken and it was not possible to broadcast it to parishioners at home. Many thanks to Eve Painter who filmed the video below on her mobile phone! As the sound quality is not as good as the livestream, we also enclose below the text of the talk and the text of vespers.
