As a former TAC Priest I have contact with both clergy. I take the opportunity to wish them God;s speed on their new journey. I recently wrote to Fr.Owen to thank him for all the wok he has done for the TAC, especially in his role as editor of ” The Messenger”. He is also a giften journalist.

Laudetur Jesus Christus for this good news.
I am pleased, Father, that you have wished both the ordinands well and many will pray that by God’s grace you may one day also come home.
As a Catholic of an Anglican background currently applying for membership in he Ordinariate of OLSC, I hearily congratulate both men and look forward to being able to receive the sacraments at their hands.
It has been a long road for both men Jeff, I am glad the moment has arrived.
Stephen had to do some extra study, I have spoken to him over the phone a few times.
I am sure that they will settle in very well.
Yours in Christ,
Father Ed Bakker
