Honouring those set apart for their dedication and service to the least, the last and the lost
ON Monday the Church of England calendar commemorated and remembered three very different people who all died on October 12. Wilfrid of Ripon died in 709 and had a colourful ecclesiastical career which began with his education at Lindisfarne monastery, included being one of the main players at the Synod of Whitby, as well as appointments as Bishop of York and Bishop of Hexham.
