At the November 2022 Board meeting,
the Board Chair, Anne Dickinson and other Board representatives farewelled two long standing members from the Board, the Rev’d. Murray Cottle and the Rev’d. Peter Williamson.
Murray served on the Board for 24 years, including 2 years on the Prison Chaplaincy Advisory Board and then 22 years on the TTPCA Board and was an original Settlor of the Trust Deed. Peter served on the TTPCA Board for 11 years. Anne commented that Murray and Peter were ministers of the Lord, and God had plans for their journey. Anne also expressed thanks to Murray and Peter from those people who were no longer journeying with the organisation - prisoners,
chaplains, and previous trustees.
The Board Chair thanked Murray and Peter for their many years of service and very valuable contribution to TTPCA’s governance. Murray and Peter were presented with a leaving gift and certificate of service.
As part of the presentation it was recognised that through the work on the Board, the
two members were able to fulfil the calling expressed in Matthew 25: 35-36, “for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was
a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me”.
