Derby Cathedral welcomed people from all over the diocese on Sunday 14 September for the annual Bishop's Badge service.
This special service celebrates ministry and service in the church and the community. The Bishop of Derby's badges recognise the distinguished service and dedication of many individuals contributing in Jesus' name to the mission of the church.
The service was led by the Rt Revd Libby Lane, Bishop of Derby, assisted by the Very Revd Dr Peter Robinson, Dean of Derby. The reflections were given by the Rt Revd Malcolm Macnaughton, Bishop of Repton. Music for the service is sung by the Girls and Lay Clerks of the Cathedral Choir.
A second service will take place on Sunday 5 October.
