Comments on: In memory of the Rev. Dr Christopher Newell AM https://www.lowvisionary.nz/?p=58 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 22:25:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Leanne Owen https://www.lowvisionary.nz/?p=58&cpage=1#comment-1266 Leanne Owen Tue, 09 Dec 2008 04:47:51 +0000 http://www.lowvisionary.nz/?p=58#comment-1266 I met Christopher when he accepted an invitation to present as keynote at the Australian Association for Pastoral Care in Education Conference in 2003. He was one of the most compassion, and deeply inspiring people I have ever met, and touched all who encountered him here in WA.

As a direct result of conversations with him, during that visit, I have gone on to develop the Philosothon, an activity designed to encourage young people to share and engage with, the deep questions of life.

I am devastated to read this obituary. My prayers are with Christopher and his family. I know he was a man of deep faith and I trust he is in God’s care.

I had the pleasure of liaising with Christopher on Arts Action’s Amalgamation Arts Festival in 2006. He was well thought of in Hobart, Tasmania and advocated well for people with disabilities.
