Some of you may remember Margaret Cornish when she was a student priest at St. Paul’s. She has since served three years at Christchurch Cathedral and has been the rector at St Alban’s in Richmond since 2004. She has done an enormous amount of work locally and internationally in social justice and women’s rights issues and will be honored with the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Award on May 18 at the Westin Wall Centre Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond.
The Ethel Tibbits Awards are named after the founding publisher of The Richmond Review, a woman who was never afraid to speak her mind, even if her viewpoint wasn’t particularly popular in the early 1930s. She spoke out against the internment of the Japanese during World War II, for example.
This is a very proud moment for Margaret Cornish and we at St. Paul’s will certainly hold her in our prayers.
