Rev. David Stark Appreciation
Over approximately 30 years, David has contributed significantly to the life of ASPEA and the wider networks of pastoral care and supervision. First appointed by the Methodist Church as Chaplain to Larundel Hospital, David was the first Chaplain to hold an Inter Church Chaplaincy position. David later served as Head of Pastoral Care at Peter MacCallum Hospital, and later as Director of Pastoral Care and Education at Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital.
Up until 1997, David served for twenty-five years on the Inter Church Chaplaincy Committee of Victoria, holding positions of President and Secretary.
At his retirement in that year the following tribute was signed and presented to David by the Minister of Health, Mr Rob Knowles:
