Innings Of Grace: Janet West

A life of Bishop W.G. Hilliard. ‘The Bishop’, as he was known in the media, was a household name in the Sydney of the forties and fifties. Poet, orator and headmaster, he excelled in many fields of endeavour, not least in his ministry to men. He rose from the humblest of origins by sheer force of personality, unremitting dedication to his work and depth of faith. He was equally at home with the leaders of the land and the man in the street. He loved cricket, once describing it as his ‘second religion.’ To play the game in life, according to God’s rules, was his aim at all times. He left an imperishable mark on the Australian and New Zealand Church and on the boys of Trinity Grammar School. This biography published on the centenary of his birth and the 75 th anniversary of the school.
