Out and about was promised ... but that will have to wait for next time
First, here are some photos from Ruth's commissioning service at St Ann's Church on April 5th.
Bishop Philip Wright conducted the service, which was quite formal but with lots of very lively singing. Dean Lloyd Neal from the Cathedral guided me through my formalities. Everyone was very welcoming and suffered 2 hours on the hottest day we'd had so far - well into the thirties - with good humour. The bishop and dean actually donned chasuble and cope respectively because they weren't wearing enough already!!
Afterwards we enjoyed lots of excellent food which my church committee (= PCC) had organised in half an hour on Thursday! Spiced chicken, rice and beans, and salad... the classic Belizean fare. Yum.

Looks good! Very Anglican! - I think all the paraphenalia makes it seem familiar, like the churches here, despite the architecture and temperature.
How are you coping with the heat? I keep thinking of mum in Egypt being distinctly ill - hopefully it's not that bad :S Still, I counted 11 ceiling fans running, so it could be worse :)
Besides long, how was the service?
Talk soon
Oh, lovely building! I love how many windows it's got, the light looks really beautiful. Looks cool as well, although I'm sure that's a relative thing...
Congrats on the commissioning and well done on surviving in the heat! I can't imagine wearing robes in that weather ... still, at least they're white I guess :)
