Sermon preached by the Reverend Helen Dunn, Rector of St. Clement, Lynn Valley and Regional Dean of North Vancouver at the Celebration of a New Ministry Eucharist that saw the Reverend Jonathan Pinkney inducted as Rector of the Parish of St. Christopher, West Vancouver. The Reverend Pinkney had been serving the parish as priest-in-charge since February of 2022 and as the Venerable Stephen Muir, Archdeacon of Capilano said to the Reverend Pinkney whilst beginning his facilitation of the Covenant in Ministry and displaying the bishop's license to the congregation, "you and the parish have been living together a long time, now it's time to get married."
