Can I publically express my personal thanks to the Rev’d Dr Bill Lawton for the care, skill and enthusiasm he brought to his ministry with the parish these last eight weeks. My thanks also to the wardens for the extra responsibilities they have shouldered. Glenda and I have had a very stimulating and varied time first overseas and then with family in Melbourne, Sydney and Newcastle.
Bill is a previous rector of Darlinghurst parish, and previous national chaplain of Mission Australia. He was involved in the development of “A Prayer Book For Australia” (APBA) which we use in this parish.
We said farewell to Bill after last Sunday’s service.
