Aileen Hackl (WH 2001)<br />
“Thank you for keeping me informed of all<br />
the wonderful things going on at Wycliffe.<br />
I was able to study at Wycliffe in 2000/01,<br />
and found it to be a truly inspiring and<br />
delightful place. Alister McGrath, Michael<br />
Green, and Jeremy Duff were among<br />
my tutors. I am a priest in the Diocese in<br />
Europe and still hold Permission to officiate<br />
for Christ Church, Vienna, where I have lived<br />
and worshipped for over 50 years now.”<br />
Sheila McLachlan<br />
“Travelled the transition from full on<br />
stipendiary to life beyond as a peripatetic<br />
with Permission to officiate. Retirement is<br />
tough and the Church could and should<br />
do more to prepare for the change though<br />
once transition has been achieved life is<br />
sweet. Remembering the Wycliffe folk,<br />
mostly men, of 1980-1983. Hope life is<br />
being good for all of you.”<br />
Mark A. Pearson (WH 1973)<br />
“Still active (part-time) in parish work<br />
(Kingston, New Hampshire) and working<br />
part-time at New Creation Healing Center<br />
(combining medicine, counseling and prayer<br />
and modeled on the Healing Homes in the<br />
U.K.) I also was just elected to the House of<br />
Representatives and placed on the Health,<br />
Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee.”<br />
Alexander Spalding (WH 2015)<br />
“When I left Wycliffe in 2015 I moved to<br />
Portland, Oregon to found an architectural<br />
design business with my brother. I cannot<br />
say I have enjoyed every minute of it, but<br />
I can say that I made the right choice. Of<br />
course, leaving the great city of Oxford<br />
was a struggle. However, that struggle has<br />
been buoyed by our recent success. Daniel<br />
House, my business, recently hired its first<br />
employee. Soon after we hosted our first<br />
major party, through which we have a few<br />
new projects and were able to raise nearly<br />
$10,000 for Birch Community Services. Birch<br />
is a great organization that helps the working<br />
poor through education, food, clothing, and<br />
prayer. It was a true honour to play even a<br />
small role in helping their work. My brother,<br />
Peter, has recently completed his print folio<br />
celebrating the architecture of the city – it<br />
will be for sale soon and a portion of the<br />
proceeds will benefit Wycliffe Hall.”
