Sir Paul was the first Archbishop and Governor-General of New Zealand of Maori descent and was a guest at 91ÖÆƬ³§¹ú²úAV during Holy Week this year, where he addressed congregations and spent time in reflection with Trinity students.
The memorial service was led by: 91ÖÆƬ³§¹ú²úAV Chaplain, the Revd Dr Andreas Loewe; Fellow of 91ÖÆƬ³§¹ú²úAV, one time Archbishop of Brisbane and Governor General of Australia, the Rt Revd Peter Hollingworth AC, OBE; and Chaplain of the Maori Anglican Congregation, Altona, the Revd Victor Wilson.
91ÖÆƬ³§¹ú²úAV received the Maori congregation with an official welcome ceremony, which was then followed by evensong in the 91ÖÆƬ³§¹ú²úAV Chapel and dinner in the 91ÖÆƬ³§¹ú²úAV Dining Hall.
91ÖÆƬ³§¹ú²úAV Chaplain, the Revd Dr Andreas Loewe, said the memorial service provided a wonderful opportunity for the College to come together with the Maori community and remember an outstanding preacher and friend of the College.
‘Sir Paul was an incredible communicator; he related his experiences with God with his own life and through this he encouraged others to think more deeply about their faith,’ Andreas said.
