Sir Paul was the first Archbishop and Governor-General of New Zealand of Maori descent and was a guest at Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵapp during Holy Week this year, where he addressed congregations and spent time in reflection with Trinity students. 

The memorial service was led by: Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵapp Chaplain, the Revd Dr Andreas Loewe; Fellow of Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵapp, 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.

Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵapp received the Maori congregation with an official welcome ceremony, which was then followed by evensong in the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵapp Chapel and dinner in the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵapp Dining Hall. 

Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵapp 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.
