On 17 October, Heath Church Cardiff and Emmanuel Chapel Newport met together to ordain Ben Fiddian to the Christian ministry and to induct him as assistant minister at Emmanuel.
The ordination was conducted by Wyn Hughes, the minister and elders of the Heath, while the induction was conducted by the minister of Emmanuel.
Ben grew up in the Heath and began his studies at university in Sheffield. He has spent time in research, but, aware of the call of God, studied at the Faith Mission Edinburgh and WEST, interspersed with cross-cultural mission in China and among Chinese students in Bangor, North Wales. Returning to this country after a period in the USA, Ben and his wife believed it right to seek an opportunity for settled ministry.
