"Peace Corps" now

A 71-year-old Canadian bishop has joined the staff of a boys’ high school in Papua— to teach book keeping. He is the Rt. Rev. Russell Brown, who retired as Anglican Bishop of Quebec in June. Now he is on the staff of the Anglican Martyrs’ School near Popondetta.

Bishop Brown was one of about 40 volunteers brought into Papua New Guinea at the beginning of July by the Canadian University Service Overseas organisation.

English-born Bishop Brown was an early Air Force pilot, an insurance broker and a missionary, before being elected Bishop of Quebec eleven years ago. He says he volunteered E or a teac hi n g j°b on his retirement because I still enjoy good health and felt that I wanted the opportunity to render a bit more active service.”
