		From the Cathedral Stuart Blackler, Dean
			The Board of Saint David's Cathedral Foundation has initiated discussions for the preparation of a history of Saint David's. At this stage it is hoped that the publication date will be in 2006. One of the tasks already under way is the compilation of archival material. Readers of the Tasmanian Anglican may be able to assist with providing material of direct interest to the history. This can be in the form of documents, photographs or artefacts. If you wish to retain any such material, a short-term loan for reproduction or listing would be very acceptable. Donations of material are always acceptable. The Dean is co-ordinating this stage of the project. Help in identifying old photographs is going to be needed and, through the good offices of the editor, it is hoped that these pages may be used for the search. The question is going to be relatively simple: 'Who is this?' Here's one for starters! There have been requests to the Cathedral for further information about the Foundation. An attractive and informative booklet together with information about membership and other ways to be involved in the Foundation is available from the Cathedral office. Erratum Oh dear! One got it wrong. The wonderful collection of Gwen Harwood's letters is Blessed City, not Blessed Salem. At least it is now crystal clear which hymn inspires the title. Apart from her observations on flowergirls, a few clergy and some bishops, Gwen Harwood is to be seen as one of our heroes: a poet of great significance, perceiving things as they are with the double vision; deeply involved in parish worship and administration (what a loyal churchwarden she was), secretary of the All Saints' South Hobart Cell of Our Lady of Walsingham, and a personality who enriched our Anglican family. By the way, not only is Blessed City (sic!) great fun to read, but her collected letters a treasury to be relished.
