Bamboo Crosses
THE Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane (Dr Halse), on April 22, blessed 10 bamboo crosses and a plaque. They had been sent from Japan in the care of the Rev. Prank Coldrake as a sign of Japanese repentance for the brutal mur der of Australian missionaries in Papua and New Guinea during the war.
The crosses will be placed in five New Guinea churches and five Queensland churches. The plaque will be hung in the Dogura Cathedral, Papua.
Some Territorians who have not yet reached a state of forgiveness where the Japs are concerned, will not be impressed.
