Over its 170 years Moore College has been served by a faithful succession of wise and godly governors. These men and women have overseen the work of the College, at least at two points in its history have helped to rescue the College when it was going through hard times, and have ensured that the College’s fundamental mission of preparing godly ministers of the word of God for Sydney and the world remained unwaveringly central to all we do. We have very great cause to thank God for those who share in the governance of our College.
On 4 December Dr Neil Cameron was called home by the Lord. He was a week short of his 87th birthday. Neil was a giant presence in the Diocese of Sydney and a long-standing member of the Moore College Committee, which during his time became the Moore College Council (1973 —1995). His contributions were always insightful, his brilliant grasp of the law was always useful, and his unwavering evangelical convictions strengthened any committee of which he was a member. His service on the Moore College Council alongside Archbishops Marcus Loane, Donald Robinson and Harry Goodhew and Principals D. B. Knox and Peter Jensen was particularly fruitful. We are very grateful to God for his servant who was a great blessing to us.
So too was Professor Keith Watson, who entered more fully into Christ’s presence on 24 January. He was 97. Keith as a quieter personality, but every bit as much a godly gracious Christian gentleman who was committed to the welfare of the College and the extension of its ministry. He joined the College Committee in 1969 and remained a member until 1998. His long and faithful ministry in this role may not be known to many but it was incredibly valuable in the history of the College, helping to direct it along the path it still travels today. We are very thankful to God for Keith.
We pray for the families of both these brothers and share with them a longing for that great day when we will be raised as Christ was raised to enjoy unending fellowship with the Lord and with his people.
