DESCRIPTION:Habemus Sacerdotem!  We are delighted to invite all of our par
 ishioners and friends to the licensing of our new Priest-in-Charge\, The R
 evd Adetola Omobolaji Badejo\, by The Rt Revd Christopher Chessun\, Bishop
  of Southwark and The Venerable Alastair Cutting\, Archdeacon of Lewisham 
 and Greenwich\, at our morning Holy Communion service on Christmas Eve. \n
 \nFirst reading: 2 Samuel 7.1-11\,16\nGospel: Luke 1.26-38\n\nIt is a grea
 t pleasure to welcome Tola as our Priest-in-Charge\, initially for an peri
 od of two years. This interim arrangement was arrived at jointly by the PC
 C\, the Patrons of the parish and the Diocesan authorities as a way of fil
 ling the vacancy as quickly as possible - it is not unknown for a vacancy 
 to last as long as eight years! \n\nTola will live in the vicarage once es
 sential renovation work\, currently in hand\, has been completed\, and wil
 l combine his work in our parish with his existing role as a hospital chap
 lain. He brings a wealth of experience not only as a priest but also in he
 alth\, social care and housing.  We are privileged that he has chosen to j
 oin us.\n\nIn the Licensing Service\, the Bishop confers upon the new Prie
 st the 'cure of souls' in the parish\, thereby giving him the authority to
  exercise formal Christian ministry. Before this happens\, both priest and
  congregation have to make some solemn promises: the Priest must publicly 
 affirm loyalty to the Church of England and its doctrines\, to the Crown a
 nd\, 'in all things lawful'\, to the Bishop\, and the congregation must si
 milarly renew their commitment to the Christian faith.
