In memory of Henry Leopold SPEAGLE, OAM, 1928 – 2020
Members of the Prayer Book Society of Victoria will be saddened to learn of the death of Mr Henry Speagle on 1 June 2020.
Henry was our Founding Chairman and was a wise counsellor who gave sterling service to the Anglican Church of Australia at Parish, Diocesan and Synodical levels.
He was the author of several books, most recently the meditational book, Pools of Peace. He also wrote many articles in our publications.
Our sympathy and prayers are with his wife Jean and his son Donald and family.

The Prayer Book Society in Victoria is based at All Saints’ Church, 2 Chapel Street, East St Kilda, Melbourne. Meetings are held quarterly, following a service of the Eucharist from the Book of Common Prayer, with traditional hymns, at 11.00am. Notice of meetings is sent to those on the membership list, and can also be found below.
The aims of the Society are to encourage the use of the Book of Common Prayer in worship, to make it known to younger generations and new Anglicans, and to provide information about where and when it is continued to be used. A survey of usage of the BCP in the parishes of the Melbourne Diocese is currently underway: a list will be published here as soon as it becomes available.
All are welcome to join the Society and attend the meetings, at which there is usually an interesting address or paper given. Members are asked to bring their own lunch: tea and coffee are provided.
The Acting Chairman is the Rev'd Tom Morgan and the Secretary-Treasurer is Mr Max Boyce, 1/41 Glencairn Ave, Camberwell, Victoria, 3124, from whom more information is available--max.boyce@bigpond.com
