Either way, more cake at Comox

Although I was pleased to see a picture from the induction of Rev. D'Arcy Lade at Comox Valley, B.C., in your May People & Places, I feel that I need to point out an error in your comment about that event.
Although inductions usually are the start of a person's ministry somewhere, in some cases they occur after some time in the particular pastoral charge. This is the case in Comox, where D'Arcy has been the minister for about ten years before his Induction. For those first years, he was under appointment from Canada Ministries of the Life and Mission Agency. Therefore, if you were to return in ten years (as you put it in your commentary), you would find D'Arcy celebrating his tenth anniversary of his induction, but his 20th year of being the minister of the congregation – the same amount of time the congregation itself has been around.
