  • Media Statement 16 March 2017 Statement from Bishop Peter Stuart
    Media Statement 16 March 2017 Statement from Bishop Peter Stuart On behalf of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle I express our considerable sadness at the news that Greg Thompson won't be returning to ministry as the Anglican Bishop of Newcastle. In his short time as our Bishop he has been the catalyst for deep cultural change around the protection of children and the support of victims of abuse. He called us to face our past and in doing so shape a healthy future. This will be his enduring legacy. As part of shaping a healthy future, we worked together in November to initiate independent external reviews of diocesan governance and the professional standards and redress processes. These reviews are well underway and will continue the crucial work of transforming the Diocese. Bishop Greg has led the Diocese to greater health. In 2013, the Diocesan family rejoiced that a ‘son of the diocese’ had been elected as the Diocesan Bishop. The clergy and people have delighted in his ministry in parishes, at the diocesan convention and synod. We have felt deep anguish for him and his family as we learnt of the abuse he experienced and the rejection by some in the Diocese. Throughout his ministry he has been committed to hearing the voices at the grassroots and empowering the vulnerable and people in need. Drawing on the great treasures in the teachings of Jesus, he has been unafraid of speaking strongly to the powerful to ensure transparency and promote justice. We are deeply thankful for Bishop Greg Thompson’s ministry as Anglican Bishop of Newcastle.

  • Statement from the Bishop of Newcastle
    STATEMENT BY THE ANGLICAN BISHOP OF NEWCASTLE THE RIGHT REVEREND DR PETER STUART BISHOP RICHARD APPLEBY 3 December 2019 Summary • Bishop Peter Stuart accepted finding that Bishop Appleby not fit to be employed by any church body without conditions • Bishop Appleby cannot engage in any ministry as a bishop nor present himself as a bishop in the Diocese of Newcastle for 3 years • Bishop Appleby must satisfy the Director of Professional Standards about his knowledge of and commitment to reporting disclosures of child sexual abuse before being able to exercise ministry as a bishop. • This decision is being communicated to all Diocesan Bishops in Australia and all clergy in the Diocese of Newcastle Detailed Statement Bishop Richard Appleby was the Auxiliary Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle from 1983 until 1992 serving Bishop Alfred Holland. Bishop Appleby went on to serve as the Bishop of the Northern Territory from 1992 until 1999 when he became an Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Brisbane until 2006. He administered the Diocese of Brisbane in 2001. During the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse a witness known as CKA spoke of the serious sexual abuse perpetrated against him, when he was aged between 10 and 14 years, old by the Reverend George Parker (deceased) in the years 1971 - 1975. CKA’s account is harrowing both because of the abuse itself and the subsequent response of officials of the Diocese to CKA and his family. CKA gave evidence to the Royal Commission that he disclosed the sexual abuse by George Parker to Bishop Appleby in 1984.

  • Brief History of the Diocese
    Section 1 - The Diocese of Newcastle 1.4 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DIOCESE 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;

  • 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.
