Merging Jew and Gentile for Perfection by Charles and Gloria Jorim Pallaghy & Immortal to the End: A Challenging True Story of the Supernatural by Charles Pallaghy

The Authors

Charles and Gloria live in the Cairn’s area of Queensland in Australia, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Cairn’s itself is often referred to as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Charles and Gloria recently got married due to their religious thinkings and ethos. The path to this union has due to cultural background differences not been an easy journey, yet a journey that brought them ever closer having lost loving spouses from previous relationships. So, let’s have a look at their individual backgrounds.

Charles:

Charles was born in Kecskemet 1939 in Hungary to a German Mother and Hungarian father. Growing up as a child in war-torn Hungary and Germany life was austere. On his tenth birthday he can recall arriving in Port Philip Bay, Melbourne, Australia. The family moved several times in those early years in and around the state of Victoria. Charles quickly learnt to speak English. He attended services at the German Lutheran Church.  Charles graduated from the Universities of Melbourne and Tasmania in Chemistry and Biophysics respectively with a doctorate to follow. While at University he met his Czech born teacher wife Milena who sadly passed away in 2021. Charles’ children Paul and Jennifer have broadly speaking followed in their father’s footsteps into the scientific world. Science and religion often come into conflict as one deals in hard evidential facts and the other on belief from the bible. So, a scientist and a religious person is rare but that is who Charles Pallaghy is. His second marriage to Gloria, as for he is concerned has been a blessing, but it took some convincing to get his son and daughter to accept the situation. Plus, the fact moving from Melbourne to Cairns they thought he was mad. But as Charles said to me off screen,” it’s warmer in Northern Queensland than Melbourne and now that he’s of a certain age he needs all the warmth he can get.”

Gloria:

Gloria was born in the Sepik River area of Papua New Guinea; her parents were Catholics, and her grandparents whom she knew very little about apart from the fact the tribe in their early days partook in cannibalism, something that goes against everything Gloria herself stands for. Gloria at a young age met Casper a Christian and over a period converted to Christianity. Both herself and Casper attended Bible school, their reward was to serve as senior pastors in charge of the Port Moresby Assembly of God church. Their successful work there attracted unwanted attention from within their own families who tried their level best to destroy them by means of powerful witchcraft practises, something that is very much in evidence in Papua New Guinea. These ancient customs are even maintained by some of those in the Christian community. Gloria’s own husband Casper was determined to bring Christianity to his own village, a village where witchcraft was prevalent, even his own brother used it to oppose him. Shortly after returning to his ancestral village Gloria’s husband passed away under suspicious circumstances, was witchcraft a part of his demise, some of the family would side with that outcome. However, this left Gloria with two children destitute and vulnerable in a male dominated society whose treatment of women was nothing short of pure prime evil. Gloria endured the wrath of her male misogynist societal background for years but that did not stop her from becoming a schoolteacher actively mentoring and preparing young people for the world they were about to venture out into. Gloria eventually moved to Australia, but throughout her life even when she thought God had abandoned her, she kept her Christian faith. So, you can see how different Charles and Gloria’s life’s have been.

Since Charles and Gloria got married two books have emerged and this is what this podcast is about the merging of two very different religious upbringings coming together under one r
