Anglican Communion flag flies again at Marysville

Friday, 31 Jul 2009
Locum The Rev'd Andrew Schreuder co-ordinated the effort behind erecting the flag at the site of Christ Church Marysville which was razed in the Black Saturday tragedy.

He said its erection in late July was the joint effort of parishioners, Marysville residents, local and non-local community groups and volunteers.

The flag was donated by Evan Evans of Collingwood when Fr Schreuder put out the call in March to find one to fly at the site.
