A funeral service was held in Melbourne last week for Alan Kerr AM, a businessman and leading layman in the Diocese of Melbourne, and one of the founders of EFAC Australia.

Canon David Claydon gave a tribute to Alan’s ministry at the packed service at St James Church Mt Eliza, and spoke of Alan’s outstanding leadership and commitment to many Christian organisations, including APCM, Campaigners for Christ, Scripture Union, Ridley College, CMS, and ZADOC.

Alan was Chairman of EFAC Australia for many years and chaired the committee which ran the two large NEAC Congresses held in Melbourne in 1971 and 1981.

We gave thanks to God for Alan’s life and ministry and his commitment to the vision and aims of this EFAC.

We have included here some excerpts from Alan's book, 'Guided Journey- Some Experiences of a Lifetime.'
