Reverend Madhu Smitha Prasadam is now a canon! A special service conducted by Bishop Robert Innes was held at St Alban’s Church in Copenhagen on September 24, where Reverend Prasadam is the resident priest.

A great many parishioners came out to pay their respects and enjoy post-service refreshments.

As the Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe, the Right Reverend Dr Robert Innes is the Anglican faith’s most senior clergyman located outside Britain. He has held the position since 2013.

For parishioners it was a welcome opportunity to catch up after a prolonged period of online services!
