Dear Father John, fellow worker in God's garden Your friends and colleagues in SAFCEI have been shocked by your sudden and unexpected passing. We mourn with your family, Emma, Sarah and Joseph but we also celebrate and give thanks to God for your well-lived life.
In honouring you, many will tell stories of your dedicated and caring ministry to the community of St Mark's, District Six. You were an experienced and valued member of the Anglican clergy in the Western Cape. Others will recall your tireless work for the Western Cape Religious Leaders' Forum and the Cape Town Inter-faith movement. Through your respect and appreciation of others you showed how people of different faiths can and should work together.
