Our People

"A community of unlike people.
All we have in common is Christ"

The congregation at Grace Church is a mixed bag.

As Parish Priest Father David Wood says, we are “a community of unlike people, all we have in common is Christ.”

A random survey of the parish revealed parishioners aged two to 80.

Countries of origin are as many and varied as the areas members work in.

These include Wales, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Canada, the Seychelles, Lebanon, England (Yorkshire) and Australia (Victoria).

Occupations, past and present, include dental nurse, chef, shop assistant, hairdresser, policeman, lawyer, management consultant, human resource manager, university student, faculty member, adult trainer, teacher, nurses, an accountant, archivist- librarian and a senior technical officer.

There is an editor and journalist, a farmer and market gardener, a quilter and creative designer and a spiritual director and former nun.

We also count among our number a clinic founder, a therapist, a forensic psychologist, an author, housewives and grandmothers.
