God in the Life of Mary Harwood UNCONVENTIONAL is not perhaps the usual way to describe a retired Lieutenant Colonel. But when she is one of the few women to have achieved that Army rank and when she is as happy to conduct a rock mass as Fauré's Requiem, then is clear that Mary Harwood is far from traditional. The Oxford Diocese has much to thank her for. She has brought her considerable administrative and personnel skills to her role as volunteer administrator for the 'Unconventional' at High Wycombe. Mary's only regret is that she can't be among the musicians at the Final Eucharist because she will be too busy ensuring that the convention runs smoothly for the rest of us.
