David Peter Morgan (Lay Reader) R.I.P. It was in the last days of the ebbing year, that we learned of the death of David Morgan. David was a mine of information, someone more usually with a happy smiling demeanour. David was born in Brecon, a school master by profession, but someone who professed a very real and humble faith in God. For David was an Anglican through and through. The Morgans moved to Dunvant with the building of the new housing. In one of his several books, this one entitled ‘The History of Killay’, David says “ In his parochial letter of April 1954 the Rev. D. Lynne Davies commented that Wimmerfield estate was growing rapidly with the building of many new houses. In the next two decades, there was a population explosion within the area as estate after estate took place; in the Killay and Dunvant area: Wimmerfield, Broadmead, Woodcote, Derlwyn, Hendrefoilan, Summerfield Park and Hen Parc Lane”. It was to this population explosion that David served as Headteacher at Dunvant Primary School. David taught the children and grand-children of many of these new residents. David was a great local historian, regularly updating the history of his beloved St.Hilary’s Church. David had a great fondness and affection for Chancellor Howell Hughes, Vicar here for many years. It would be true to say that David saw clergy come – and he saw them go. David was stalwart in his ministry as Lay Reader, ever ready to help and support the clergy in whatever way he could. David was an avid gardener, often to be found in his beautifully kept rear garden at his home in Y Glyn. More than that, David became a judge in the annual Swansea in Bloom competition. David was a regular contributor to the Killay Parish magazine, often writing of reminiscences or nature or environmental issues. Over his recent stays in Singleton Hospital, as Hospital Chaplain, I was able to have numerous conversations with David, either prior to, or after receiving his Holy Communion, which he held dear. David had a very real relationship with Christ, our hope and prayer is that David is now raised in glory, to be with the God that walked with him in his earthly journey of faith. We thank you, Lord God, for the grace you gave to those who lived according to your will and are now at rest. We pray that their good example may encourage and guide us all the days of our life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen Parish of Killay !12 2018
The Lady Plumber You wonder what criteria is used to select people for the peace prize. Read the story below and we then understand how pathetic and superficial our world has become. Remember this lady? Irena Sender Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98) Warsaw, Poland During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive. Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids. Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids/infants noises. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazis broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out in a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted. In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Parish of Killay !13 2018
