Excerpt from the Sermon for the Service of Installation
Dr. Jenny Plane Te Paa, Dean of Te Rau Kahikatea (St. John’s
College), Auckland, New Zealand, brought “affectionate
greetings from the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and
Polynesia and especially from Te Pihopatanga, the indigenous stream
of that Church for it is within that fold that Martin is held in
the highest esteem …”
She continued “ … he is on this day being given
over, wholly and doubtless as holy also! to serve and to be served
within this community of teachers and learners. I invite you all
to notice his radiance and his happiness on this day. You already
know of his outstanding intelligence, and his expertise as a teacher
is legendary.”
She urged all present to commit to “supporting, encouraging,
guiding, mentoring and nurturing our brother in Christ.”
