We returned to visit St Aidan's and received an extremely warm welcome even though it has been over 10 years since we attended regularly (we have visited once or twice in the intervening years when in Perth). It was indeed lovely to catch up with a number of familiar faces and also to see the renovations that have made to their buildings.
Unusual name for a Uniting church- Aidan is associated with Ireland, and Northumbria (Lindisfarne).
ReplyDeleteThere was a branch of Hawthorn Anglican (which has Irish associations) in Auburn Rd called St Aidan. Now it is closed, and the name has been given to the minister's residence in St Columb's St.
