40 Days, 40 Churches
Day 43: St. Barnabus Church, Dibley, Oxfordshire, England
Located in a rural corner of England, St. Barnabus was one of the first Church of England parishes run by a female vicar after ordination of women was approved in 1994. The Reverend Geraldine Granger took over after the mid-service death of the 102 year old Reverend Pottle. The community took to her slightly unusual methods - such as a springtime service to bless the village animals - and came to accept her as their spiritual leader.
