The Vicar Writes The Centenary Candle light Supper Last Sunday s Supper was a very happy occasion enjoyed by 30 or so of our people. During the dinner, we paid tribute to Ian Little on the occasion of his 94th Birthday. The diners enjoyed the candlelight ambience and the delicious, well presented dinner prepared and organized by Gary Bartholomew. It was a further very happy in-house celebration of our Centenary. Clergy Conference ninety clergy participated in the Conference at Foothills Conference Centre at Mooroolbark. Ken Morgan the Diocesan Coordinator of Visions and Directions was the major speaker. The Archbishop and Registrar outlined the process of renewal as we seek to make diocesan structures more mission-shaped. St James s assisted in the provision of Eucharistic vessels and altar linen for the Conference Eucharists. I also led the full Conference Compline on the Tuesday night. St James s - an Animal Friendly Church Heather Martin, has been successful in her application on our behalf to have St James s recognized by the British-based Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals as the first Animal Friendly Church in Australia. I am delighted by this, insofar as it honours the years of work by Lorraine Hawkes and many of our congregation at the Annual Blessing of Animals at St Francis-tide over 20 years. Heather will present the Certificate to me and our congregation on Back to St James Sunday on the 21st of June. I am delighted! Pastoral on Friday the Funeral of James O Dwyer who lived in Inkerman Street near the high-rise flats was celebrated here at St James s with a reception afterwards in St James s House. Yesterday the Shayan family (from Iran) with their Australian family and friends gathered for the baptism of baby Alexander George Shayan. It was a very joyful occasion. Meanwhile, here at the Vicarage, Petra made a very successful transition into an Australian School last Monday. She is in Grade I at Rippon Lea Primary School. Blessings on you as we celebrate the Pouring out of the Holy Spirit at this great Feast of Pentecost, Roger OGS
