Happy Birthday, dear Jim and to Isobel and to all those who gathered with you on the extended celebration, warmest regards down under folksies!
I think of the songs that came to us from Australia way that we sang with gusto--especially The Lord's Prayer sung to Waltzing Mathilda as one of the first.
And I'm also reminded of the incredible ENERGY, KINDNESS, and CHEERFULNESS that radiated from the two of you as you embodied the mission in action. Rarely do we have the occasion to meet such as you both on our corporate revolutions around the sun.
Keep taking your Peter Pan pills! The world is such a livelier and compassionate place with you, Jim at the milestone of 90 and with your bride, Isobel by your side.
Grateful for your presence,
dawn
We love the Creator/Source/Spirit because the Spirit/Source/Creator first loved us.- 1 John 4:19

Dear colleagues far and wide,Jim thanks you all so much for your expressions of joy and love on his 90th milestone. 😊🐨🎈 I also thank you for your words of grace and loving support. May it be so; for each one of us, to the other. We are still those strange mysterious people who come out of the sewers and drains on the walkway/ footpath at night time. I think that is more or less a quote from the Church lecture- one of Joe’s vivid illustrations !Grace and peace and our love across the oceans,Jim and Isobel

What a milestone! We celebrate your years of pioneering work in the church in Australia with a corporate pastorate that was put into practice in the Local Church Experiment. We celebrate the leadership and life of service both you and Isobel have demonstrated and continue to model.

Dear colleagues far and wide,
I hope life treats you gently, and there are special moments each day you savour.
Here is Jim at his 90th Birthday Dinner. He began his Birthday in August, when the extended family gathered at a French inspired restaurant in a nearby suburb. 38 family came together, only two nephews missing!
On Saturday he will be special guest at our weekly Neighbours brunch with cake included!
The very last Celebration will be this coming Sunday.
His 88 year old sister will bake a special Birthday cake and the Church community will wish him well.
A life well lived.
The Order EI and ICA experiences completely changed Jim’s life, as his Memoirs testify.
Journey on, journey on dear colleagues.
With love and blessings to each one,
Isobel Bishop.
