"The consultation process for the creation of the Chapel has been one of the greatest experiences of my colourful life. The whole college community was asked for ideas, from which were drawn the recurring themes being asked for..."
"We had such varied personal ideas, yet were able to come to consensus so readily. Murray was able to fit into the big idea all of our small ideas"
"The thought that stays with me most is the concept... that the plan seems like the wings of an angel folding around and embracing us. That speaks to me of the sense of hope and peace and refuge that we seek for the chapel"
"As the planning has progressed, so have my ideas been challenged and I am all the richer for being part of the process, and for sharing more intimately in... with others who have searched on their journey, just like me"
"I thank you"
