“I have been overwhelmed by the cards, letters and messages of support which I have received since my accident in January. It has made such a difference.

Yesterday I received a letter from the orthopaedic surgeon who saw me, confirming that I am now fit enough to return to ministerial duties. I have been assisting the Bishop’s Staff Team since the Covid-19 crisis took hold but have been in rehabilitation mode.

The latest x-rays showed that my femur is in its correct position but that the bone is likely to take another three months to fully heal. The surgeon was very pleased with how I had recovered. Movement [is still an issue for me]. I will need to continue working on that for a while yet.”

We expect to hear a sermon from +Lee soon.
