Estera then joined other churchwardens in the Garden of the Bishop's Palace for the Churchwardens' Reception given by Bishop Martin. It was great to make new connections and catch up with Martyn Shanks, St John the Divine's Churchwarden. The two churchwardens discussed how the two congregations can come together more in the future. However, it was during Bishop Martin's welcome speech that the heavens opened, and blessed the gathering with an almighty downpour.
