The Bishop of Salisbury presided, assisted by the Bishops of Ramsbury and Sherborne- the first time all three have been present at a service since Edward Condry was welcomed as Bishop on Sunday 23 September. (Click here for that story)

The Revd Clare Herbert, a Lecturer in Inclusive Theology from The Bishop of Salisbury's previous parish of St Martin's in the Fields, preached a sermon on Jesus washing his disciples' feet.

Highlights included all three Bishops washing the feet of the deacons- four deacons each- during the service, and the Revd Ruth Gillings leaving on a motor-trike.
