July / August 2026

In this issue of TeamTalk:

Jonathan writes about the abundance of high summer and the quiet call of Ordinary Time, drawing on Thomas Traherne. Paul Roberts is welcomed as the new Team Vicar Designate, to be licensed at All Saints on 3rd September. The Rev’d Jane Plackett-Ferguson shares thoughts on friendship and community. The “Becoming” series continues with Part 5, on staying faithful through dry seasons. Rev’d Christine Cattanach introduces herself as the new Curate.

There’s also a full round-up of parish life: the St Michael’s Summer Fete on 5th July, a Christian Meditation Retreat in August, the Hereford Gospels exhibition at the Cathedral, a Plastic Free July reflection, Open the Book’s Daniel performance, updates from Breinton History Group and Village Hall, and the summer crossword.
