From Michael Gnanapragasam
“In 1988, my late grandfather, Rt. Rev. Jabez Gnanapragasam (12th Bishop of the Diocese of Colombo, Anglican Church of Ceylon), came to Canterbury Cathedral, the seat of the primate of the whole Anglican communion, to attend the Lambeth Conference. 31 years later, in 2019, his grandson sang evensong in the very same cathedral with the choir of St. Peter’s Cathedral, Adelaide. In a few days, his son (my father) and his other grandson (my brother) will also have been in this magnificent cathedral. Thank you, Appappah for the legacy you left behind.
“To God all praise and glory!”
Here is Michael with his father Thayalan, his mother Shanti and brother, Jonathan after our last Evensong in Canterbury.

All of us are thrilled for you, Michael, as you share your joy in singing God’s praises in English Cathedrals, and continuing your family’s service to the Church. It is great to have your family with us for our time in London.
