Ordination Ceremony

Make the most of it. You won’t see me dressed up like this very often!

A few images courtesy of son Sam and my brother Geoff, of the Ordination of Deacons ceremony at St Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney on February 8th 2007

A great time, very encouraging – and a record: The largest number of people ordained in the Anglican Church at one time in Australia.

  1. Hey Neil,

    Well it is certainly the tidiest I have ever seen you!

    Good to see Gavin Rosser in there too.

    Cheers :)

  3. Thanks Richard.
    The applet is one of a few plugins that do similar things for Textpattern, all based on the lightbox code.
    This is called ‘slimbox’ and is available here.
    This is a very simple application of it – I didn’t even bother styling the thumbnails!
