Hi all, I went to St John's and St cleclements school and have fond memories of Father Charles. When I called the church to set a date for my wedding in November last year I was told he had "taken a step back from ministry" and when I called today to confirm was told he had passed away.


Does anyone know what happened? It is a great shame, he was a lovely man.

The previous thread on here about him was taken down by Admin. It would be good if this one mentioning the memorial service could be left up, so at least people who wanted to attend would know when it was. Or, if not, then a separate one regarding just the memorial service could be started.

What happened to Canon Richardson? He was "removed from Eclesiastical duties" for reasons unknown and then tragically took his own life yet no-one talks about it? A good friend of mine lives v near and all questions regarding property isues etc are being passed to the Diocese and there is no information forthcoming. Why?

Quote from the Mail article:


?We are all flawed human beings and it is helpful, no matter what the circumstances of a person?s life or death, for those who knew them to be able to pray for them.?


That will be a huge comfort to any victims of his. Fekkin church. In a world of it's own.

I only had a brief contact with the Rev but he obviously was loved by his parishioners. He also seemed to add much to our ED community. Maybe people should reflect more on the motives, exploitation of distress and morality of The Daily Mail before they start getting hysterical. There is something very sick about that rag and its sad readers.

    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down!
