Lessons Learned

 

Born in 1928, Arthur Pike’s life has been one of adventure, resilience, and deep family bonds. From an early childhood shaped by the Great Depression, his family sought refuge in Tahiti before settling on Tasmania’s remote Flinders and Partridge Islands. There, without electricity, they lived off the land and sea, forging an unbreakable connection with nature and each other.

As the world hurtled toward war, Arthur’s life took unexpected turns—from leaving school early to work with a furniture maker, to following his passion for the sea and becoming a fisherman. Alongside his brothers, he braved the waters off Tasmania, navigating storms, rescues, and the evolution of an industry he loved. He built boats, built a life, and built a family—ten children, twenty-two grandchildren, and twentytwo great-grandchildren—all part of his remarkable journey.

Through heartwarming and harrowing stories, Lessons Learned paints a vivid portrait of a man who adapted to change while holding fast to the values of hard work, perseverance, and love for family. Rich with wisdom, humor, and nostalgia, this memoir is a celebration of a life well lived and a reminder of the lessons we gather along the way.

Table of Eight

A Life in Service to Humanity

Around Every Table of Eight, a Refugee Story Connects Us All.

From the post-war refugee crises to the African droughts of the 1980s, Table of Eight chronicles Brian’s extraordinary journey at the intersection of faith and global humanitarian aid. Through innovative tripartite partnerships—uniting the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), host governments, and receptive NGOs—Brian played a pivotal role in providing refuge, resources, and hope to displaced populations worldwide.

Drawing from his experiences with the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), an ecumenical organization founded in 1947, Brian sheds light on ground-breaking interfaith outreach efforts, from the Middle East and Hong Kong to the Indian subcontinent. He recounts his contributions to international cooperation, including the establishment of the Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response (SCHR), advocacy for landmine bans, and strengthening UN mechanisms for aid delivery.

With unwavering faith in the power of miracles and a commitment to the ethos of the Good Samaritan, Brian reflects on the transformative role of church agencies in saving millions of lives during some of history’s darkest moments. This memoir is not just a testament to his life’s work but a call to action—to see the humanity in others, step into the gap, and make a difference.

This is a story of compassion in action, a legacy of faith through service, and an invitation to believe in the extraordinary.
