Ian's Ordination Service.

April 22, 2012.  Old South Church in Boston.
It was an amazing and special day, breath taking and spirit-filled.

My family came from places near and very far.  Dear people from all parts of my life came: folks from First Church Swampscott, Payson Park Church, First Church Somerville, South Acton Congregational Church, and of course Old South Church; friends from Kronos, IBM and Northeastern University, and dear neighbors from Westford too.
Beautiful music from Carrie Cheron (soloist), Harry huff (piano), Willie Sordillo (saxophone) and Sam Ou (cello).

Here are a few photos of my family taken by friend David Kerr at First Church Swampscott, and then of the ordination --photos.  And more taken by George Delinedies a friend from Old South more photos.

Here is a link to a video of the service produced by my friend Lee Ingram - video.
Here is a link to a higher quality audio recording of the full service - high quality audio recording. 
Here is a link to the order of service.

The sermon makes reference to a famous picture by Holbein called The Ambassadors.
