Our friend, Rev Canon Julian Reindorp died at home at the weekend. This was completly unexpected and will be a shock to the many people who knew him. 

Julian had a long and notable clerical career, serving in a variety of parishes but of course we probably know him best at St James's in 'retirement' - which was extra-ordinarily active and fruitful. Julian will be remembered with affection by a multitude. Perhaps it was his friendly concern for people and generous encouragement that stand out, or his interest in politics and passion for social justice, or some other characteristic of this remarkable man. 

In due course we will find out about funeral arrangements and so on, but in the meantime please hold his family, especially his widow, Louise,  in your prayers. More information will be added here when any details are confirmed.

Remember, O Lord, this your servant,
who has gone before us with the sign of faith and now rests in the sleep of peace.
According to your promises, grant to him and to all who rest in Christ, refreshment, light and peace;
through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
