Our former Rector, Archdeacon Gordon Linney, was invited back yesterday for the unveilling of The Linney Room in the Parish Centre, in thanks for the long ministry in the parish by both him and his late wife, Helen. His successor, the Rev Gary Dowd, said it was a fitting tribute by the Select Vestry in our thriving, purpose-built centre used by all the community, which was very much his predecessor’s vision and he fought hard to bring it about. Sitting in the church grounds, the centre took the place of the old parish hall further down Adelaide Road and was completed soon after the archdeacon’s retirement.
