Dr. Pauline Head inducted as Rector of St. John's Church By Rebecca Ring St. John's AnglicanChurch in Rockwood celebrated the induction of the Reverend Dr. Pauline Head as Rec- tor last Sunday. Officiating at the ceremony were the Venerable Thomas Greene, Archdeacon of Greater Wellington, and the Rever- end Canon David Howells, Regional Dean of Greater Wellington. The ceremony began with Reverend Head knocking on the door of the church. The archdeacon opened the door and officially inducted her into the church "by virtue of the mandate of the Bishop." The ceremony continued with blessings, prayer and song. The Archdeacon said "This ministry continues the good work done through the years in this community, and is part of the work and witness of the whole church. It is a new beginning as Pauline and the people of. St. John's bring together their particular gifts in min- istry". The Reverend Canon David Howells gave the sermon and spoke about the reality of answering God's call in our busy, secular and agnostic society. He said it is a gradual process and one must reach below the layers of noise to the "velvety still- ness" within, where one can find God and listen. He con- gratulated the Reverend Dr. Head on hearing and heed- ing this call to the ministry. The ceremony continued with the Covenant of Min- istry, where the Archdeacon invited the Regional Dean to read the mandate and licence from Bishop Spence of the Diocese of Niagara. The new priest then vowed with the congregation to "be one who baptizes into the Community of Christ...a preacher of the word of God and a teacher of the faith...to break the bread and bless the cup...to reach out to the needs of those beyond our walls". The service concluded with all clergy blessing the parish of St. John's. Archdeacon Thomas Greene commented on the ceremony saying "We join the people of Rockwood and Pauline together as they celebrate a new minis- try. We come from beyond the parish to support the signs and symbols of the wider Church, of which we are all members. We wish God's peace and blessing » and much happiness as they minister together and reach out to the community. It is an exciting time for both priests and people." Dean Howells commented saying "This is a big day for me because I used to be the rector of this parish and have taken a large hand in helping Pauline prepare for the ministry. She is very accomplished, intelligent, wise and has a tremendous commitment to the faith. To me, this is a real sense of celebration, akin to a marriage, in that two pieces are joining together in a relationship." The Reverend Dr. Head was ordained as a priest in January. She is also a pro- fessor of Medieval English Literature at York Univer- sity and holds a Master's degree in Theology. When asked what has been most challenging so far, she said as part of her training, she counselled people at hos- pitals and in one weekend there were 14 deaths.
