Fr David Nixon's Homily and Vale
Saturday 26th July 2025
Sunday 6th July was the last service taken by Fr David here at St Thomas before his retirement. This image is of the team supporting him that day.
From L to R:
LLM Phil Baker; Revd Alan White (former Rector of St Thomas); Revd Dr Eliza Getman (Taunton School Chaplain); Fr David Nixon; Revd Alison Whiting; Revd Terry Litherland; Ted Marchant (Server).
Prof. Nigel Byott (organist) is not in frame but was indeed, and as usual, present. He and David pulled together a special musical selection to mark the occasion cheerfully.
Also missing from the picture are Revd Sarah Cumming and Revd Mike Clark. It was great to see them at the Reception afterwards.
The text of Fr David's Homily can be viewed here here, and of his Vale atque Salve here here.
