FARQUHAR,
Alexander
James
Alexander James
FARQUHAR, native of Brooklyn, Hants County, son
of the late Judge Hiram Smith
FARQUHAR and Eva Mary
DIMOCK, died
at home in Halifax on Sunday, March 9, 2008, in his 82nd year.
Married for 57 years, he leaves his beloved wife Glennis, brother
Hugh (Claudette
DERDAELE,) children Alec (Kathleen
McDONNELL,)
James (Liliane
SAYEGH,)
Sarah
(Randy
SUTHERLAND,) Megan (David
GRAVES), Donald (Kathryn
MYERS), Anaya (Donald
CARRIER) and Katherine
(Robert LALONDE,) thirteen grandchildren, two great-grandchildren,
and many cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws and Friends. After
first pursuing postgraduate study in physical education at Springfield
College, Massachusetts, Alex felt and responded to a call to
the ministry, enrolling at Pine Hill Divinity Hall, Halifax,
Nova Scotia. While serving on a student mission field in rural
Saskatchewan, he met Glennis
LAMB, of Wawota, Saskatchewan, and
they were subsequently married in 1950. After ordination in the
United Church of Canada in 1951, Alex was called to a succession
of pastorates in Nova Scotia (Lockeport, Baddeck, Sydney River,
and St. Matthew's, Halifax), Ontario (First-St. Andrew's, London)
and Quebec (St. Andrew's-Dominion Douglas, Westmount), before
bringing his ministry to a close at Zion United Church, Liverpool,
Nova Scotia in 1991. As a pastor, Alex was deeply devoted to
his parishioners, serving them faithfully and with a profound
sense of privilege. The words of Psalm 16: 6 held for him a special
significance: 'The lines have fallen unto me in pleasant places
yea, I have a goodly heritage'. Known and respected widely for
his insightful and scholarly sermons - some of which were included
in such published collections as 'Outstanding Sermons from Canadian
Pulpits' (Evergreen Press, 1966) - Alex was invited on many occasions
to preach at churches across North America and to address various
conferences, student convocations and other assemblies. He also
represented the United Church in international events pertaining
to the Reformed Wing of the World Church, including the 1961
Kirchentag in Berlin, the 1962 Japan Evangelism Project of the
U.S. National Council of Churches, and the 1970 dedication of
the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. As a member
of the United Church Committee on Christian Faith, in 1968 Alex
helped to craft the United Church Creed, and as a member of the
Committee on Church Union in the 1970's, he participated in conversations
then being held between the United Church and the Church of England.
During the 1980's, Alex served as President of the Montreal InterFaith
Task Force on the Liberation of Soviet Jewry and in recognition
of his leadership in this cause, he was presented with an Award
of Merit at the 1992 Plenary Assembly of the Canadian Jewish
Congress. In 2005, Alex was named Pine Hill's distinguished alumnus
of the year. Throughout his life, Alex was passionate about sports
and during his early years, he was an outstanding varsity athlete
who excelled at track, basketball and football. He was named
captain of Dalhousie University's football team in 1945. His
summers in youth were occupied with baseball, as he played with
the Halifax Saint Mary's softball and baseball teams (provincial
runner-ups) and later with teams in Pictou, Lockeport, Shelburne,
Nova Scotia and Lampman, Saskatchewan. Alex coached the Lockeport
High School girls' basketball team to two Nova Scotia championships
in the early 1950's, and concluded his own athletic career in
1958 as a member of the Cape Breton All Stars Maritime Basketball
Champions. A funeral service will be held in Edgewood-Oxford
United Church, 3055 Connaught Ave., Halifax, on Saturday, March 15,
2008, 10 a.m., followed by a reception at the Atlantic Funeral
Homes. A brief committal service will be held in Newport United
Church, Brooklyn, Hants Co. the same afternoon at 3 p.m., prior
to interment at the Riverview Haven cemetery. Any who are moved
to honour Alex's memory with a gift are gratefully encouraged
to consider a contribution in his name to the church or charity
of their choice, or to Dalhousie University (the Hiram and Eva
Farquhar Bursary for students in the School of Social Work, or
the Doctor James W. Reid Lectureship in Medical Humanities). The
family extends a heartfelt thanks to all who participated in
Alex's care. On-line condolences may be made at: www.atlanticfuneralhomes.com
