A large congregation from each of the four churches in our Benefice was joined by members of Clitheroe Christians in Partnership and friends from Leeds Minster and St. Peter's Harrogate where Judith has previously served. There were also representatives from local schools, other faith communities and local voluntary organisations. 

Judith was instituted by the Bishop of Blackburn, Rt Rev Philip North, and inducted by the Archdeacon of Blackburn, Ven Mark Ireland. 

After the service there was an opportunity to congratulate Judith in St. Mary's Centre where refreshments were served.
