Pink Parties and Papua Parades
The West End of St John the Baptis’ts Church, Koinambe, PNG
After the consecration Bishop Nathan makes a final speech
O
ctober witnessed several events around our parishes, but perhaps the most colourful was the Great Pink Tea Party at The Walled Garden (left). Meanwhile, Barrie, our Rector and his wife, Susan travelled to Papua New Guinea to attend the consecration of the new church in the remote Western Highlands Village of Koinambe. The church is dedicated to St John the Baptist and was largely a gift from its namesake St John the Baptist, Snape. Work started on the church in 2010 when Susan and Barrie spent over a month in the village overseeing the start of construction and were then joined by Tony Roy, the Snape Churchwarden (continued on page 12) The Great Pink Tea Party attracted over 120 people - see page 14
