[Oe List ...] Brian

[Isobel & Jim Bishop]

Thank you, Steve, for reminding me of Brian's life in the Sydney House.  I well remember at Brian's RS1, as I was part ot the teaching team-- his curiosity and searching ..
Then I remember the day I opened the front door of our Manse/ Religious House-  and there was Brian-  he'd  come to live with us; with literally his two suitcases,and the rest, as one says, is history.
Thanks be to God for a life very well lived.
grace and peace,
Isobel Bishop.

  If I were to try and list every great memory of Brian that I have, it would take a year to send this email.. Here are the top four:

  1.  Absolutely one of the finest pedagogues I ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with.
  2.  A wonderfully creative cook when we shared kitchen duties at the Sydney house.
  3.  Superb at injecting humor and life into any situation, especially those that were really stressful and needed that otherness.
  4.  Absolutely the best performer of "Zorba's Dance" on the big refectory table in the collegium room at #1 Regent Street, Paddington.

  I watched Zorba the Greek again last night on TCM and thought of Brian often during the movie.  The synchronicity of this scares me.

  All blessings on Brian and Jeanette.
