Many attend induction
service for new rector
By Elizabeth Kettlewell
Congregations of St. Thomas' Anglican
Church, Seaforth, and St. Paul's Anglican
Church, Clinton, gathered at St. Thomas' on
May 3, to celebrate the joyful event of the In-
duction of their new Rector, the Reverend
Gregory Charles Gilson, B.A., M. Div. Mr.
Gilson had been the assistant curate at
Trinity Anglican Church I Galt) Cambridge
before accepting his call to this two-point
parish.
For this important service of the celebra-
tion of his new ministry, Mr. Gilson was
happy to share the occasion with his wife
Eva, his parents Joan and Brian Gilson of
Kitchener, and his grandparents, Dorothy
and Edgar Stroud of Don Mills. He was
pleased, also to greet many old friends who
had driven up for the service, ( from Trinity
Church, Galt ). Among the many guests
were the Reverend Douglas Pitts of
Bayfield, and the Reverend Aubrey Bell of
Middleton Anglican Church, who extended a
welcome to the Gilson family from their
community churches. Seaforth's popular
resident, 99 year old Ned Boswell also at-
tended the service. Mr. Boswell has been a
member of St. Thomas' for more than half a
century.
On behalf of Bishop Derwyn T. Jones,
Bishop of Huron, the Venerable William
Graham, Archdeacon of the Deanery of
Saugeen, presented Mr. Gilson to the
assembled congregation.
Conducting the service of Induction with
Archdeacon Graham was the Reverend
Canon Robert Birtch, rector of Trinity
Anglican, Cambridge, with whom Mr.
Gilson has been associated for the past 18
months. Choirs from St. Thomas' and St.
Paul's led the singing of the processional
hymn, ' • Praise my soul, the King of
heaven". The Old Testament lesson from
the book of Isaiah, was read by Charles
Friends of St. Thomas'. The Epistle from
the book of Ephesians, was read by William
Kettlewell of St. Paul's.
In the introduction to his sermon, Canon
Birtch gave' warm praise for Mr. Gilson's
dedicated service while at Trinity Church,
and he stressed the importance of the com-
ing years in this new community towards
his development, and that of his wife Eva,
and their two children, Michael, age four,
and Courtney, age one.
A period of silence for reflection was
observed at the conclusion of Canon Birtch's
sermon, followed by the Proclamation of the
Apostles' Creed, led by the rector and his
wardens. Mr. Gilson, accompanied by Ar-
chdeacon Graham then accepted the Signs
of the Ministry in the form of gifts from the
congregations. Among these offerings were
a Bible, an embroidered stole, the Book of
Alternative Service, a cruet containing olive
oil, the keys to St. Thomas' and St. Paul's
Churches, and the Elements of the Holy
Eucharist.
With the reading of the licence as read by
the Reverend Pat Nunn, our Regional Dean,
and issued by Bishop Derwyn Jones, the for-
mal Induction was made. With the con-
gregation standing, Archdeacon Graham
presented the new Rector, saying, "I invite
you to greet your new Rector". A hearty ap-
plause expressed the sincere pleasure of the
entire congregation'
Bonding this meaningful service was the
Celebration of the Holy Eucharist, with Mr.
Gilson as the celebrant, assisted by Bill
Southgate, Rector's warden of St. Thomas'.
For their anthem during the Communion
service, the choirs sang, "Sing a New
Song."
Closing the Induction Service was the
singing of The Doxology. and the hymn of
praise, "Immortal, Invisible, God Only
Wise".
An hour of fellowship. and delightful
refreshments served by the ladies of St.
Thomas' brought to a close a memorable
celebration.
