➖ Dr. Philip Manwell has passed ➖

Dear Friends,

     Early yesterday evening, Jan. 9, Dr. Philip Manwell, our former Music Director, passed away.  He was surrounded by close friends and colleagues who loved him.  

     Together in his presence we held a liturgy of commendation, that recognized we were at the limits of what medical care can do, reaffirming our belief in the power of God and our love and commitment to walk with Philip through his final hours. He was not conscious, but we shared a final communion with him, and assured him that, although he could not partake, he had certainly received all the benefits of the Eucharist.  As he passed, his friend, Olga, played the violin.

      While our hearts are broken, I will tell you there is great beauty standing with loved ones in that place where the veil between the two worlds is thin.  As such things go, his passing was gentle, and being together at this time was good.

     All of us knew of Philip’s cat, Cooper. I want to reassure you he has a good home now with one of Philip’s close friends here at Trinity.

      There is an ancient Latin phrase the Church has held for centuries. It is vita mutatur, non tollitur — “Life is changed, not ended.”  We will plan to celebrate Philip’s life here at Trinity and begin our new relationship with him in the coming weeks.  We will keep you informed.

      Pray for one another and for the people at UNR, St John’s in Reno, and his friends nationwide who loved him. Be kind to one another. I am grateful for Philip’s time among us, and I am so grateful for all of you.

Peace,

Rick Millsap+
