  • Diocese of Newcastle
    Diocese of Newcastle The Diocese of Newcastle was founded by Royal Letters Patent in 1847. The boundaries of the new See were thus defined: From the Hawkesbury River in the South, to the 21st Parallel of Latitude on the North, and from the Pacific on the East, to the boundary of South Australia - the 141st degree of Longitude - on the West. On the 29th June, St Peter's Day, of that year, the Reverend William Tyrrell was consecrated in Westminster Abbey as the first Bishop and on the 30th January of the following year (Dr Tyrrell's forty first birthday) he was installed in the Cathedral at Newcastle. There were then 14 Clergy in the Diocese including two whom the Bishop had brought with him. In 1859 the area of the Diocese was reduced by the formation of the new Bishopric of Brisbane, all of the parent Diocese of Newcastle lying north of the Queensland border was embraced in the new See. Eight years later the creation of the Diocese of Grafton and Armidale wholly out of the parent Diocese fixed the Northern boundary. A further curtailment was effected when the Diocese of Bathurst was formed. In 1940 by arrangement with the Diocese of Grafton, the Newcastle Diocesan Boundary was slightly extended on the North so as to embrace the district of Heron's Creek, which previously was within the Diocese of Grafton but had always been worked from Newcastle. The boundaries of the Diocese as now existing are thus described: Commencing at a point on the coast where Cathie Lake empties into the ocean; thence by Cathie and Ten Mile Creeks to the top of Broken Bago Range; hence by that range to Mount Comboyne; thence by an imaginary line running westward to the intersection of the counties of Parry and Vernon; thence in a South Westerly direction, following the Liverpool Range to the Goulburn River; thence by the river to a point above the village of Bylong; thence by the mountain range in a Southerly direction to the Colo River at its junction with Putty Creek; thence by the Colo and Hawkesbury Rivers to the coast; thence in a Northerly direction to the point of commencement.

    1 BEING TOGETHER Expectations of behaviour in our church community Jesus told us to love one another as he loves us. As Christians we know our life together is strengthened when our behaviour is consistent with our faith. However, our experience of being together can be difficult, particularly when there are differences. So it is important to be clear about how we will behave towards each other. Being a community: • We will value the wellbeing of others. • We will encourage each other to participate in the life of the church. • We will consider the impact of our behaviour on others. Relating to each other: • We will treat each other with respect and dignity, irrespective of ability, gender, sexuality, race, age or contribution to the church. • We will act with integrity and honesty in our interactions with each other. Communicating with each other: • We will communicate respectfully with others, and not in a way that threatens, belittles or humiliates. • We will speak with integrity and honesty, and refrain from speculation and gossip. Acknowledging difference: • We will respect those who are different from us and not isolate or ridicule them. • We will listen to and seek to understand the beliefs, opinions and practices of others, even when we do not share their views. Responding to conflict: • We will accept responsibility for our part in a conflict. • We will be willing to play our part in resolving a conflict. Promoting Safety: • We will promote behaviours that support the physical,1 psychological2, social3, spiritual 4and moral5 safety of all people. (Promoting Safety added by DC January 2019 all other parts as adopted by General Synod 2014).

  • Charge to Synod
    Charge to Synod Presidential Address to the First Session of the Fiftieth First Synod of the Diocese of Newcastle Together with the Record of Visitors to the Diocese, and the Record of Appointments, Ordinations, Resignations and Retirements The Rt Rev’d Gregory Thompson Bishop of Newcastle Saturday 25th October 2014 Bishop Tyrrell Anglican College Wiyalita Yirri Yirri – from Awabakal meaning ‘we gather to speak in a sacred way’ I acknowledge with my words and my spirit the abiding custodianship of the Awabakal, Dakinjung, Wonnarua, Worimi, Geawegal and Biripi peoples on whose land our church exercises ministry in the name of Christ, and pray that we together may walk as one people. It is good to be here as the people of God in this Diocese. We gather to celebrate our relationship one with another, to give thanks for God’s faithfulness over the last year, and to listen well to each other and the voice of Christ who calls us to live holy lives. This is not my first presidential address to a Synod but it is my first presidential address to you and I would like it to be a little different. Rather than being the only voice that engages with the issues, I want you to spend some time engaging with each other. During the address, I will pause twice and pose questions which I would like you to explore with the people around you for a few minutes. In this way we will bring our many voices to the issues before us and during the course of Synod hopefully move towards speaking with one voice.
