Yesterday was the funeral of Peggy Lindsay. Alan Berresford and I represented all of us. Her daughter Gail did a fine eulogy in which she included these words written by Peggy granddaughter Jessica Boudville. Where do I start...today we lost the formidable, undeniable and spectacular force of nature that is Lady Lindsay. The ageless one, with the highest cheekbones around, wordsmith extraordinaire, who worked with the Institute of Cultural Affairs, the UN, an International Business Affairs College teacher, an advocate for women’s education in a time when it wasn’t a trend, still doing Pilates at 94yrs old and using FB, WhatsApp & Skype! generous, selfless, always the razor sharp, unflappable one....my Burmese chef, whiskey connoisseur, dog loving, witty, opinionated, funny, feisty grandmother (for those who know my feistiness, I got nothing on her The matriarch, who grabbed the world by the lapels - all in her stride, a powerhouse, a fighter and THE true and original BOSS lady, one that I could only ever hope to be a shadow of...who had a life that experienced things our generation could never understand and yet created so much love, entertainment and fun...(and arguments with me in the Tesco discount aisle no such thing as expiry dates you see?) Nana, someone I thought of as my friend as a child (when mum wouldn’t bow to my whims) when I ‘stole’ your lipstick (standard) you caught me and didn’t scold me but showed me how to use it as blush too! Genius. (miles ahead of the times) I’d never have known then, that as it turned out, you would truly be a friend and advisor in my adult life, who always supported my nonsensical singing endeavours & London career choices...for that I’m grateful. I know that you would have composed this far more eloquently than I can manage, as your wedding speeches and writings always proved, but I hope you’re now also having cups of tea with Prince & Bowie along with everyone else we miss.....(though you’d probably be telling them all to make less noise/how to best make tea, achha? I wouldn’t want it any other way) What I do know, is an energy like you, that possesses so much vibrant brilliancy will always burn bright and is impervious to fading in those that had the luck to encounter it. There are hundreds of broken hearts tonight, to say you were one in a million doesn’t do it justice, maybe a trillion would come close.xx It was a fine occasion. It also felt like the end of a chapter. Paul Paul Schrijnen 13 Bloemfontein Avenue London W12 7BJ paul.schrijnen@gmail.com +44 7973 206 766 skype: paulus.schrijnen

Yes Lynda. I too remember the Royal visit in India. Lady Peggy visited Chikhale village. It was a day to celebrate the woman of Chikhale and surrounding villages. I remember Peggy walking with the village women they in their most colourful saris. Flowers and lively music filled the air. Peggy was so warm and giving. Thank you Peggy for you grace.

Thank you, Paul. Greetings to Christine. Remembering Lady Peggy and Sir James’ visits to Bombay when Christine and we were there. It seemed like a royal visit and yet they were so caring and down to Earth. What a privilege to have been able to know them and to work alongside of them as they opened so many doors for us. Somewhere in our storage, there is a photo of them taken the next summer when they came to the Summer Program… A good rainy day project that I hope to do get into some time soon. In the meantime, I will write to the family. Thanks for this address.
With care, Lynda and John

A message I found on Facebook this evening:
Our wonderful Mother/Nana/Great Grandmother Peggy is very seriously unwell in hospital after suffering a stroke on tuesday. Now they are trying to prepare us for the worst. If anyone would like to send messages or video, they would be warmly received now while we know she can hear us.
Mary, Cyprian and I had a chance to visit with Peggy a few weeks ago. She was well and in good spirits. She had just left Christmas Cottage for an easier to manage place in Henley. She did that in a way which will take care of her vulnerable granddaughter who she has cared for for many years.
She played her part in all our journeys.
Grace and peace,

Witness to the Mystery of Life
I have a long history of ‘baring my soul’ witnesses to the amazing and unusual things that happen in my life. There was the foul ball at the Cubs game, there was ‘expecting more from strangers’, the Monsignor Egan event, etc.. there is a lot of mystery out there if you have the eyes to see it .. a “thin places” where the other world that is in this world becomes apparent
Ok, so I get an email from Terry Bergdall forwarding an email from Geri Tolman asking if Terry knew how to get in touch with Hannerl and Manfred Golda. The Tolmans had been in Frankfurt together with Goldas in 78-79 and wanted them to know of Warren’s passing.
When I got Terry’s note I was on a bus returning from Springfield, Illinois at an Environmental Lobby day. It is a three-hour bus trip to Chicago, so I had time on my hands. I had known Hannerl and Manfred when I was part of the Brussels House and even traveled to Vienna to visit them as part of an ICA gathering. So I knew they had been or still lived in Vienna. So I googled Hannerl Golda.. nothing and then added Vienna. A lot of German text and other odds and ends, kept scrolling down and up popped the following German paragraph. I would of missed it except for the very end of the paragraph it has ICA. I am not sure what it says although when I googled Manfred it said in English he was a consultant/coach

I was amazed and when I told Sally about this find she suggested that since she is on her way with her sister to Paris we should google ICA Paris.. never know the kinds of ICA people still hanging around.

Beautiful fragments turn into Mystery of life on bustrips between Springfield and Chicago.
I did a bit more research on Manfred and Hannerl.
Here is a retirement notice about Manfred from 2007:
As of August 31, 2007, Pastor Mag. Manfred Golda is retired. Manfred Günter Erwin Golda was born on October 25, 1941 in Klagenfurt, where he was baptized by pastor Erich Pechel and confirmed in the preaching office Velden am Wörther See by pastor Friedrich Krotz. Manfred Golda went to school in Klagenfurt and graduated in 1962 from the Federal Trade School for Mechanical Engineering. He then spent a year in England attending a Bible School of the Torchbearers Missionary Community. From 1963 to 1970 he studied theology in Vienna and during this time worked in the student church. After passing his exams in January 1970, he was a teaching vicar in Vienna's Inner City under the guidance of Prof. Wilhelm, and was ordained by the latter on 11 July 1972, assisted by Reverend Adolf Rücker (Vienna) and Pastor Friedrich Krotz (Pörtschach). As of December 1, 1972, Manfred Golda was also pastor of this congregation, and in addition to his usual official duties supervised the student church, held a lecture at the Protestant Theological Faculty of Old Testament Exe- cution, and worked together with the Reformed and Catholic Parish of St. Stephen founded the ecumenical bible study. From 1978 to 1980, Manfred Golda worked at the Institute for Cultural Affairs (ICA) in Frankfurt am Main and in Berlin West. The ICA is a global institute that develops and communicates participatory methods for community work. The work area included various communities in West Germany and West Berlin. From 1980 to 1984, Manfred Golda was a parish commissary at the Berlin Mission with the main focus on coordinating ecclesial partnership work with Africa and the Middle East, organizing seminaries, mission festivals, etc. In 1984, Manfred Golda returned to Vienna and until 1996 was a pastor for participants with a focus on the care and counselling of foreign students and ecumenical cooperation in higher education. On 1 September 1996, Manfred Golda was appointed parish priest of the pastorate of the parish of A. B. Wien-Währing, not affiliated with the pastoral ministry. Together with Pastor Manfred Schreier, he has endeavored to ensure that this large parish with kindergarten, school and after-school careers is well organized, which in recent years has also meant an enormous challenge for the general refurbishment of the church and other buildings. Pastor Golda was first married to sports teacher Hannerl Regina. Laubenberger married, from this marriage come the children Martin Alfred, Astrid Christiane and Florian Rainer. Since 2001 he has been married with Dr. theol. Maria Irene Riebl, an adult educator and psychotherapist. The heart of Pastor Golda probably beats in the wide world, among the young churches of Africa. This is visible in his honorary offices as chairman of the Mission Council, the Evang. World Mission Working Group (EAWM), as a longtime member of the board of the Evang. Associations for student hostels and chairman of the Protestant Higher Education Community, the executive board of Oikocredit Austria (Ecumenical Development Cooperative), the EAEZ (Evang Working Group for Development Cooperation) and chair of the synodal committee for world mission and development cooperation (WEZ). Pastor Golda has been particularly dedicated to the "missionary pastor" in our church and was assistant at the inauguration of Ghanaian Rev. Rev. Timothy Annoh on Pentecost Sunday this year. The Evangelical Oberkirchenrat thanks Pastor Mag. Manfred Golda for his dedicated service in our church, for the efforts of the young students and especially for the vision that Manfred Golda has brought to our church again and again and wishes him and his family God's blessing and escort for the future

Together with Pastor Manfred Schreier, he has endeavored to ensure that this large parish with kindergarten, school and after-school careers is well organized, which in recent years has also meant an enormous challenge for the general refurbishment of the church and other buildings. Pastor Golda was first married to sports teacher Hannerl Regina. Laubenberger married, from this marriage come the children Martin Alfred, Astrid Christiane and Florian Rainer. Since 2001 he has been married with Dr. theol. Maria Irene Riebl, an adult educator and psychotherapist. The heart of Pastor Golda probably beats in the wide world, among the young churches of Africa. This is visible in his honorary offices as chairman of the Mission Council, the Evang. World Mission Working Group (EAWM), as a longtime member of the board of the Evang. Associations for student hostels and chairman of the Protestant Higher Education Community, the executive board of Oikocredit Austria (Ecumenical Development Cooperative), the EAEZ (Evang Working Group for Development Cooperation) and chair of the synodal committee for world mission and development cooperation (WEZ). Pastor Golda has been particularly dedicated to the "missionary pastor" in our church and was assistant at the inauguration of Ghanaian Rev. Rev. Timothy Annoh on Pentecost Sunday this year. The Evangelical Oberkirchenrat thanks Pastor Mag. Manfred Golda for his dedicated service in our church, for the efforts of the young students and especially for the vision that Manfred Golda has brought to our church again and again and wishes him and his family God's blessing and escort for the future

Witness to the Mystery of Life
I have a long history of ‘baring my soul’ witnesses to the amazing and unusual things that happen in my life. There was the foul ball at the Cubs game, there was ‘expecting more from strangers’, the Monsignor Egan event, etc.. there is a lot of mystery out there if you have the eyes to see it .. a “thin places” where the other world that is in this world becomes apparent
Ok, so I get an email from Terry Bergdall forwarding an email from Geri Tolman asking if Terry knew how to get in touch with Hannerl and Manfred Golda. The Tolmans had been in Frankfurt together with Goldas in 78-79 and wanted them to know of Warren’s passing.
When I got Terry’s note I was on a bus returning from Springfield, Illinois at an Environmental Lobby day. It is a three-hour bus trip to Chicago, so I had time on my hands. I had known Hannerl and Manfred when I was part of the Brussels House and even traveled to Vienna to visit them as part of an ICA gathering. So I knew they had been or still lived in Vienna. So I googled Hannerl Golda.. nothing and then added Vienna. A lot of German text and other odds and ends, kept scrolling down and up popped the following German paragraph. I would of missed it except for the very end of the paragraph it has ICA. I am not sure what it says although when I googled Manfred it said in English he was a consultant/coach <="" blockquote=""> _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net <mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net> http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net <http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net> _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net <mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net> http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net <http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net> _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net <mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net> http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net <http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net> _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net <mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net> http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net <http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net>
