David Halsey
Henry David Halsey[1] (27 January 1919 – 16 May 2009)[2] was an Anglican bishop. During his tenure, Bishop Halsey's focus was as a pastoral bishop, and the care of the clergy and their wives was his first priority. By supporting the clergy, he was able to support the people of the diocese. His home was a place of welcome and hospitality to innumerable groups in the diocese, but also a means of reaching out into the community. Representatives of the farming community, health and social services, the police, and many other groups all benefited from invitations to Rose. Many links were formed as a result, not only between Church and community, but within the different community groups.[3]
