Über den Autor
The Reverend David McIndoe Hodges (1924-2012) was an inspiring and gifted minister for more than 50 years. His services to religion and the community were recognised nationally in 1983 when he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM). David was a leading figure in the Uniting Church but is best remembered for his inclusive, innovative and diverse programs that enriched and empowered individuals and their communities. His passionate beliefs about the need for the Churches to reform their practice of Christianity for a new era were heard all the way from Australia to New York.
