The Curate in Highley (CIH)

These are the exploits of a clergyman. They tell of his experiences - some good and some not so good, the ups and downs of everyday life for someone who now lives life in the public eye.

Superman

Friday 2nd February and the CIH had the honour of taking the funeral for 'Superman', a well-loved member of the village community. This was the largest funeral the CIH had led to date with 232 people in attendance. The church was full and a number of people stood listening to the service outside the church.

Superman, AKA John Evans, died suddenly just a few weeks after the death of his mother. A father of three, John will be missed by his family and many friends.

During the service, the CIH read from Psalm 8 which speaks of the beautiful world which God made. As a nature lover and an 'outdoor boy', this psalm reflects some of the good things of the world that John enjoyed.

Following the service, the CIH joined some members of the family for a short committal at Stourbridge Crematorium.
