I went to my first OSG meeting encouraged by friends from my diocese.

It seemed to me that I was finding a ‘home’ because:

– I had been infuriated by the divisions within the Church of England from the moment I became aware of them!

– I’d stood for Synod partly as a result of the sense that the increasing ‘party’ nature of our church was going to make it into somewhere I didn’t want
to minister before I retired.
