Sir Paul was the first Archbishop and Governor-General of New Zealand of Maori descent and was a guest at ¹ú²úBT during Holy Week this year, where he addressed congregations and spent time in reflection with Trinity students.
The memorial service was led by: ¹ú²úBT Chaplain, the Revd Dr Andreas Loewe; Fellow of ¹ú²úBT, 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.
¹ú²úBT received the Maori congregation with an official welcome ceremony, which was then followed by evensong in the ¹ú²úBT Chapel and dinner in the ¹ú²úBT Dining Hall.
¹ú²úBT 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.
