Media statement Friday 3 December 2004 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 an industrial photographer (now working for the University of Tasmania), a worker at Boyer in the veneer industry (who also runs a Donut King franchise), a former teacher, a grandmother, a former orchestral player, and a High School lab technician. Those to be ordained as Priests are Helen Phillips, a former teacher who now works full-time for the Church with children and families across the state; Louise Pascal from New Town parish who is also a chaplain at Calvary Hospital, Ellen Clark and Martin Woolley from the Hamilton parish, Ian Harvey from Burnie (who works with the Mission to Seafarers at the Burnie Port) and Lance McCallum from the New Norfolk parish. They will be ordained by Bishop John Harrower at 10am Saturday 4 December 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.' 'Some of these people will work full-time in the church, whilst others will continue their careers alongside their role as Priest. It's wonderful to see God continuing to rejuvenate the church throughout Tasmania.' Read more about each of the ordination candidates.
