The drive at Codrington College, with the lily pond on the right
The wonderful drive at Codrington College - look at those palm trees!
The Principal, Revd. Dr. Ian Rock with my host - Michael Maxwell
The college chapel
The view from the college grounds! It must be the most spectacularly located theological college in the Anglican Communion......
We should have flown at 6.40pm last night but LIAT - the Caribbean airline whose acronymn is said to stand for Leave Island Any Time - was delayed by two hours. It was nearly 9pm when we left St. Vincent for the 30 minute flight back to Barbados. Michael's wife Dawn was there to meet him and they dropped me off at Dorothy's. It was past 11 when we went to bed and we were up at 6 this morning to get ready for Michael who was collecting me at 6.30.
The morning Mass at Codrington was the last of the term - the students leave today for a Christmas break until January 25th. I was privileged to be asked to celebrate as well as preach. There were about 12 ordinands in the congregation. I preached on the Gospel for this Sunday - Advent 4 - the visitation - basically a sermon about Mary. It seemed to be well received. After the Mass we had a very good breakfast in the Refectory with the students. There are two female ordinands in the college. The Dioceses of Belize and the Bahamas seem to be well represented.
