Last Sunday, we were delighted to welcome The Reverend Roxana Tenea Teleman as our curate. Roxana was ordained deacon on Sunday, June 30, by Bishop Robert. She will serve with us for three years. In Church of England terminology, Holy Trinity Nice with St Hugh’s Vence is her ‘title’ parish, where […]
July 7, Trinity III
This Sunday, we welcome our new curate, Roxana Tenea Teleman, who was ordained deacon last Sunday. After the service, we will have refreshments with crémant and finger food to celebrate her arrival – please bring some food to make this an ‘enhanced’ coffee hour. We also welcome back Devin and […]
June 30
Please pray for Roxana Tenea Teleman, who will be ordained deacon at Holy Trinity Brussels on Sunday, June 30. Roxana will have her first Sunday as our curate on July 7, when we will welcome her to both church communities. I attended the Clergy Retreat organised by the Episcopal Church […]
Corpus Christi Sunday
We celebrated Trinity Sunday last Sunday. The Thursday following, June 20, was the feast of Corpus Christi, a day of thanksgiving for the Eucharist. In some countries – like Germany, where I was at the Diocesan Synod last week – it’s a public holiday. Where it’s not a holiday, it […]
Trinity Sunday
TRINITY SUNDAYJune 16 is Trinity Sunday. Since December, the Christian liturgical calendar has taken us through a succession of images: the baby in the manger (Jesus is both God and Man); the shepherds and the magi (the witness to the Incarnation by Jesus’ own people and those from outside his […]

Ascension Sunday
We live in an age of images. For my generation, if someone says Kennedy’s assassination, flickering colour images of JFK and Jackie in an open topped black limo and her cradling her dying husband spring to mind; or when someone mentions 9/11, we remember the terrible image of the fires […]

Easter III, May 5
Each of the four Gospels ends differently. Each describes the Crucifixion, but Marks’ Gospel ends abruptly with the discovery of the empty tomb. Luke’s ends with the story of two men walking along the road to the village of Emmaus. John’s ends with a meal, where Jesus shares fish with […]
A-prayer-atif
We had the first A-prayer-atif, Apéritif of the year last Friday, April 26. Since it was a wet and windy day until mid-afternoon, I was pessimistic about how many would attend. Wonderfully, there were sixteen. There were familiar faces and new ones. We enjoyed our time together against the backdrop of a […]
