Death of a Churchman - Ted Pearsons
The Very Rev. Edward Ross Pearsons O.A.M., (known as "Ted" to all), died on Friday of last week, aged 71. Ted was a central agent in the survival and regrowth of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria, in the face of the formation of the Uniting Church in the 1970s; preserving the continuing church involved a great many legal and other struggles in which he engaged unflaggingly. He was the Clerk of the General Assembly of Victoria for many years, and also served as Moderator of PCV and Moderator-General of the PCA. I shall miss Ted's cheerily whistled hymn-tunes echoing around the staircase of the Assembly Hall, in which we both worked. His funeral will be held at Scots Church Melbourne at 10am on Wednesday 7 May.
