Angela Grutzner, who had served Archbishops David Penman and Keith Rayner as media director and editor of TMA’s predecessor See, was midwife at the birth of The Melbourne Anglican that year. In 1995, Roland Ashby succeeded Angela and in the following 23 and a half years expanded the paper to include more features and supplements, and later included a range of digital offerings. From 2018 until late last year, Emma Halgren put her own stamp on the paper, and further adapted it to the digital era. Just as well as COVID struck and left everyone wondering what its implications would be for church and world.

  • The General Secretary's Report
    The General Secretary's Report The Revd David Gill, 13 July 1996 1. It is fitting that, early in our life together, the National Council of Churches in Australia should gather in Brisbane. For Australian ecumenism owes much to the churches of the sunshine state. 2. In the early 1980s, by happy coincidence, Australia's three largest churches were led by Queenslanders: John Grindrod was Primate of the Anglican Church, Rollie Busch presided over the Uniting Church, and Frank Rush was chairing the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference. For years they had worked together to challenge a reactionary, racist and corrupt state government. All three of them had suffered outrageous attacks from politicians, public opinion and members of their own churches who should have known better. All three bore similar scars. All three had become friends, colleagues, brothers in Christ, partners in ministry. 3. Then tragedy struck. A few weeks after standing down as President of the Uniting Church, Rollie Busch suffered a heart attack that was to take his life. The two archbishops, visiting Sydney at the time, asked if I would take them to the hospital. I will always remember that scene at the bedside: three old friends together facing the mystery of death, together affirming faith in the lord of life. That scene, a gift of Queensland, remains for me, always, as an icon of ecumenism. 4. I recall that icon now not only in gratitude for three special saints of God, not only in deference to Queensland's substantial contribution to the wider ecumenical scene, but also in recognition of that "knowledge of the heart" which led our churches into the NCCA, which has sustained our journey during the two years past, and which goes before us now into the work and worship of this National Forum.

We no longer have services in such places, communities, Kinglake and Marysville that have seen we have meetings and the buildings express that their churches destroyed and many of their parishioners understanding. rendered homeless. I have to confess that my experience over twenty years of ordained ministry has changed my thinking on the value of the building and made me question the ‘rain shelter’ view. God clearly has a sense of humour for if you had told me at the age of 16 that 40 years later I would be the rector of an Anglican parish with two heritage church buildings complete with stained glass, crosses, candles and liturgical colours I would have been incredulous. So how should we regard our church buildings? To me they function somewhat like the sacraments. They are visible reminders of a spiritual reality, namely the gathered Christian community. For those on the outside, the Church building bears witness to the fact that the people who meet there take God seriously.
