He blessed Frederick Anglican Fellowship in 2023 with a faithful group of worshippers who share his love and grace, visiting priests willing to come and celebrate the Holy Eucharist with us, a creative core team that shares the work required to keep going, and a diocese that has helped and encouraged us time and again.
