Trinity College Chapel Royal Parade, Parkville VIC

Letter from the Chaplain It’s good to be back among you after a busy and inspiring month away. Although it’s always exciting to be travelling, after a month of touring, it’s also good to get home. I visited residential colleges, toured chaplaincy departments, chatted with chaplains and residential college leaders, and tasted Choral Evensong in a variety of settings. I enjoyed listening to some very good choirs at King’s College in London, Christ Church, Oxford and St John’s, Cambridge. It was also quite amazing to realise that while I was worshipping at Christ Church, I was sitting beside the tomb of a Knight who had died in 1485! It certainly puts Australian history into perspective!

I began my trip in London, staying with Meg Warner and her new husband Richard Burridge, the Dean of Kings College. Meg is well and happy, enjoying her new life in London, and sends you all her greetings. Kings is a multi-campus university, and I visited their chaplaincy departments at The Strand, Denmark Hill and Guys Hospital, sharing ideas and insights with the Chaplains. At Cambridge, I met with the Chaplaincy Department, and attended an end of year concert in St John’s Church, with performances by the St John’s College Choir, the St John’s Gentlemen, an a-Capella group famous enough to have recorded CDs, and the newly formed St John’s Voices, a mixed-voice student choir.

At Christ Church College in Oxford, I was privileged to be invited to dinner at high table, which was quite an experience. The meal was fine dining standard, with matched wines and served by butlers in white gloves, a very different experience to dining at Trinity!

On a more serious note, the Committee has been doing some thinking about the future of the Fellowship, as numbers and finances continue to shrink. The Fellowship’s viability into the future depends on your financial contribution, but also on your willingness to commit your time and resources. Please take some time to think what form this could take, what you are prepared to offer to ensure the Fellowship’s survival, and then let one of your committee members know what you are thinking. We look forward to hearing from you!

Connections

World War I StoriesDr Margaret Henderson OBE, a member of the St John’s and Canterbury Fellowship, has edited a book, “The Journey to Gallipoli” – First World War Letters of Rupert and Alan Henderson.

Dr Margaret’s two uncles, Captain Rupert and Lieutenant Alan both died on Gallipoli.

Bruce and Kristina visit Nepal & Tibetas a Buddhist monastery though now as a UNESCO World Heritage Site it is inundated daily with tourists. This is one of Kristina’s photos of Potala by night (inset & cover image).

Sera Monastery is one of the three great Tibetan university monasteries and visitors can observe the daily debates where the defenders must argue their position on a topic of Buddhist philosophy and the questioner tries to trap the defender into making an erroneous argument. The debates are accompanied by energetic symbolic gestures.

Bruce and Kristina Macrae visited Nepal and Tibet after Easter, and one of the wonderful places they visited was the Potala Palace in Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region. The construction of Potala began in 1645 under the Fifth Dalai Lama who took occupancy of the White Palace in 1649.

The Red Palace was completed in 1694. Potala was the Dalai Lama’s residence until the exile of the 14th Dalai Lama to India in 1959. It continues to function
