Personal Stories
Vicar of Mullumbimby
The vicar of Mullumbimby, the Rev. David Collins, B.A.. Th.L., served in the AIF as a private and sergeant, before being called from the ranks to serve as a padre in the Fourth Division, and he informs us that the new church has meant a re-awakening of church life among Anglicans in the Mullumbimby district, and tomorrow will see the children from the many centres in the parish gathering at St. Martin's to open the month of celebrations, with a children's festival.
