John writes:

In January last year, as many of you know, I spent ten weeks at Hawkstone Hall, an international pastoral renewal centre in rural Shropshire run by the Redemptorists. Part of the reason for going there was to take a break after a particularly stressful year; but also I wanted to reflect on my own calling and discern the next stage of the journey. Hawkstone Hall gave me a safe and supportive environment in which to do this; it was a positive experience of Church.

The course confirmed my initial feelings that my life should take a new direction. After a great deal of prayer I have decided to resign from active ministry as a priest, not because I did not want to remain a priest but because the constraints parish life put on my ministry prevented me from developing the gifts God has given me. And further, I wanted to marry the woman I love; and that is not possible for a Catholic priest at this moment in history.

It is possible (and quite usual in some parts of the Church) for a married man to be ordained a priest. But an unmarried man, once ordained, is not permitted to marry. Some will say it’s unfair; others will point out that a vow of celibacy is for life just as marriage is. I understand both arguments but accept the reality of the situation.

On 6th August 2011 Christine and I were married in the village church visible from our Norfolk home. It is beyond words to describe the sense of peace and wholeness which taking this step has brought to my life, despite the great sadness of no longer having a public priestly ministry. Nevertheless there are signs that the ministry gifts God has given me will not lie unused (cf I Timothy 4), not least through my music. Meanwhile I have a number of new compositions towards the next album. The pilgrimage continues....

JUST A THOUGHT FROM JOHN GLYNN

FIFTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR OF MARK
5th February 2012

People have often asked me to describe a typical day in the life of a priest, and invariably I would reply that, while I could recite the kind of activities that might occupy me, each day was different and usually unpredictable – for two reasons: because each person I meet is a unique surprise, and God is the biggest surprise of all.  more...
