Abp Meri Louise Spruit
Announcement from the Presiding Archbishop Frank Bugge
It is with great regret that I must advise you of the passing to a higher world of our Matriarch Emeritus Meri Spruit in the early hours of the 3rd of June 2014.
Mother Meri has succumbed to old age after a noble lifetime of setting the example of how we as Clergy should try to attain.
We in Australia have fond memories of both the Spruits and they certainly have created the standard we attain to achieve.
R.I.P. Mother of Antioch Malibar Rite.
May she rest in the eternal and may perpetual light shine upon her. Amen
The crosier that Abp Meri Louise holds was made by Abp Frank Bugge after her visit to Australia in 1987 along with Abp Herman Spruit, to Consecrate both Abp Frank Bugge and Abp Chearle Bugge, to begin the journey of the Australian Church of Antioch.
The M stands for Mother Meri Matriarch. In each point of the M are set 5 green stones on either side making 10 in total. Also 5 garnets are set into the M to represent N.S.E.W & Earth Air Fire & Water.
