Greetings from Germany!
As my husband and I will be coming to visit your parish for two weeks in June, we would like to briefly introduce ourselves. Our names are Megan and Nate Kramer and we originally come from Cincinnati, Ohio in the US, though we have been living in Berlin, Germany for the past 6 years. Our visit is part of my discernment process in the Church of England to decide whether I should attend seminary in the UK with the hope of ultimately becoming a priest. Unfortunately, neither my husband nor I have ever actually spent any length of time in the UK. In order to rectify this, Revd Corke has very kindly agreed to allow us to come to Taunton to find out what life is really like in an English parish and what it is like to serve there. We are thrilled to have this opportunity and are grateful to you all for so generously sharing a little bit of your lives with us to help us discover what God intends for our future. We look forward to meeting you!
Joy and celebration abound as our popular curate, Paul, is Priested in Wells Cathedral on Saturday 3rd July at 4.00pm.
