Both have a strong connection with Boorowa. Fr Bill Pryce has served here in a locum capacity and Canon Bill Wright was rector of Boorowa from 1961 to 1967.
Bishop George Browning was the celebrant and preacher at the service, assisted by a number of Diocesan clergy.
In his address, Bishop Browning spoke of the great example of faithfulness shown by the guests of honour and of the service as a thanksgiving for their life of ministry.
Members of the large congregation later socialised, and enjoyed time with the ‘two Bills,’ during refreshments in the Christ Church Parish Hall.
