Kind regards STEVE LUCAS Legal Officer Table of Contents • Presidential Address and Mission Presentation • The Missionary Hour • Elections • Resolutions passed • Ordinances passed • Ordinances introduced • Appendix A: Text of Resolutions Presidential Address and Mission Presentation The Archbishop opened his Presidential Address and Mission Presentation by reflecting on God’s “unusual work” in the Reformation and in particular the martyrdom of Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer on 16 October 1555. In the Archbishop’s words – “We see, in the light which they gave us. We are their descendants, because they played a major role in the recovery of the evangelical gospel in England. They did much in their lives and teaching; they did most through their deaths. Months later, the cause of the Reformation was further sealed with the death by burning of Thomas Cranmer. It was their evangelical Protestantism which has been the major shaping force in this Diocese. When we forget them, we forget who we are. Through them God did a major and unusual work, with consequences even now still apparent.” The Archbishop posed a question for our Diocese: “Will we see an unusual work of God in our time?” This question formed the backbone of his Address.

Take General Eisenhower, whose credentials included being the Supreme Commander for the invasion of Europe in 1944 and President of the United States of America. 2. Dean Acheson said of him ‘I doubt very much if a man whose main literary interests are in Zane Grey cowboy stories…is particularly well equipped to be the chief executive of this country…particularly where Indian affairs are concerned.'1 Nikita Krushchev, the Soviet leader was bold enough to claim, ‘President Roosevelt proved that a president could serve for life; Truman proved that anyone could be president; Eisenhower proved that your country could be run without a president.’ 3.

  • To Know God and to Make Him Known 1980–1993
    CHAPTER 10 To Know God and to Make Him Known 1980–1993 eg Piper was thirty-eight when appointed to Trinity, where he was inducted on 16 January 1980. He grew up in the Wollongong district, took a BSc degree at the Australian National University and then studied at Moore College. Ordained in 1967, he served Ra formative curacy under Alan Begbie at Willoughby in suburban Sydney, another at Lalor Park, then was curate-in-charge at Hurstville Grove before becoming rector of Kiama for four years. Again, like his friend Paul Barnett, he and his wife Dorothy brought young children to the rectory at Prospect. Truth and love Piper’s concerns and those of many of the congregation matched closely. He brought with him a strong sense of the evangelical tradition, to which he was committed to expressing through a sustained preaching minis- try. Although he had a BD from the Melbourne College of Divinity and a ThSchol from the Australian College of Theology, Piper did not claim to be a scholar. He sought to achieve close and friendly rapport with his congregation, building on the foundations of mutual responsibility which Barnett had laid. At his first annual vestry (March 1980) he issued a clear manifesto: It is my desire that truth should reign in our congregation. It is my firm conviction that the Bible is God’s Word. We will aim to have all our preaching, our exhortations, our encourage- ments, our prayers, our discussions, our singing come under the authority of the Scripture. I care little for style or aesthetics or spontaneity or anything else if it is not found right by this measure.
