Sea of Faith Christchurch Group

Sylvia Edwards, who died recently, had been a member of the Christchurch Group of the Sea of Faith Network for many years – possibly since its inception. She drew strongly from the wellsprings of Christian faith, but her liberal and open minded approach to faith and – and indeed to people in general – meant that she was widely appreciated.

Sylvia had a great sense of style. Bright, alert and friendly, her positive ethos was an inspiration and stimulus to the group. But always in a discreet way.

Sylvia was not one to jump to her feet without thinking. Her contributions were always measured and thoughtful, and usually thought provoking as well. Her sensitivity and accepting nature meant that she had many friends in the group. We will miss her very much.  – Ian Crumpton.
