The new Priest-in-Charge of the parishes of Seaton and Beer was licensed by the Bishop of Crediton, the Right Reverend Jackie Searle, and installed by the Archdeacon of Exeter, The Venerable Andrew Beane.

The Reverend Justin Montague and his wife Melissa were welcomed during the service at St Michael's Church, in Beer, on Tuesday where congregations from the two churches were joined by community members and visiting clergy, as well as supporters from Justin's previous church, St George's and St Paul's in Tiverton.

Justin hopes to be as visible as possible in the local community and welcomes residents to say hello.
