30th Anniversary of women being ordained to the priesthood - Jean's story

In May 1994, 31 women were the first to be ordained as priest in the Diocese of Rochester. Two further services, which saw women ordained as priest, followed later that year.
As we prepare for our service of thanksgiving tomorrow, Sunday 20 June, we asked the Rev Canon Jean Kerr - one of those first women to be ordained priest in @Rochester Cathedral - to share her memories of the time.

It would be good to see women priests wearing their collars in everyday public settings to be witnessing of our faith and acting their calling to serve God. It was sad then male priests dressed in 'day clothes' and stopped bearing witness in public.
