Reverend Ric Holland
Gary MAAS (Narre Warren South) (10:10): Also at the church recently I attended the retirement ceremony for Reverend Ric Holland. Reverend Ric worked for 53 years. He has served communities in the UK and in Australia, finishing his last five years at Hampton Park. His social justice work is inspired and has made a real difference to many here and abroad. From Lort Smith and the Melbourne City Mission he pioneered the Sleep at the G, and he also performed the first wedding under new marriage equality laws at St Michael’s Uniting Church in Melbourne. He is a giant in the social justice world. Happy retirement, Ric.
