On Saturday 1st July 2017 at Christ Church Cathedral Oxford, The Revd John Ainslie was ordained as a Deacon in the Church of England. John who has served All Saints, Boyne Hill contributing in so many ways towards building the Body of Christ was supported at the Cathedral by his family, people from Boyne hill and from former parishes including Guildford.
John served a full term as church warden at All Saints, contributed to the work to repair the spire and helped with the 150th celebrations in 2007.

One of the roles that he always enjoyed was sharing the leadership of the annual pilgrimage to Walsingham.
