The New Church in Australia congratulates Rev John Teed who, along with his wife Mary, on June 23rd this year attained the milestone of having served the Lord and the New Church in ordained ministry for 60 years.

It is a remarkable fact – and a unique one – that John served each and every one of the societies in Australia and he and Mary are very affectionately remembered by people in these societies, and by others in connection with the New Church. John also served the British New Church before returning permanently to minister in Australia.

We extend, with thanks, our affection, gratitude and warmest wishes.

Julian Duckworth, President of the Australian New Church
