Friday 5 December 2003 Wide variety of new Anglican leaders to be ordainedAn extraordinary variety of people will tomorrow (Saturday) be ordained into leadership roles in the Anglican Church in Tasmania. The group includes two former teachers, a dairy farmer, a taxi driver, a librarian and a hospital chaplain. Those to be ordained as Deacons are Sheila Holmes from Longford and Helen Phillips, who works with children and families across the state. Also to be ordained Priest are Shirley van Norden from Circular Head, Peter Adkins, who has a travelling support role to three North-West parishes, Helen Chick, also in Longford, and Margaret Lock in Bellerive. They will be ordained by Bishop John Harrower on Saturday 6th December, 10am, at St David's Cathedral, Hobart. Bishop Harrower said, 'I'm always amazed at the variety of people God calls into leadership in the Anglican Church. We are a church whose leaders have wide life experience, and that is one of our ongoing strengths within the Tasmanian community. It's wonderful to see God continuing to rejuvenate the church throughout Tasmania.'
