    Synod 2021: Presidential Address (Peter Hayward)

    Presidential Address First Session of the 52nd Synod of the Diocese of Sydney The Right Reverend Peter Hayward 3rd May 2021 Members of Synod welcome to the first ordinary session of the 52nd Synod of the Diocese of Sydney. When the 51st ordinary session concluded in October 2019, the Pandemic and the circumstances that have occurred over the last 19 months were not even remotely contemplated. Yet, in God's providence, we now meet for a one-day session of Synod. Immediately following this session will be a special session of the 52nd Synod to elect a new Archbishop. His kindness has given us the opportunity to keep going in the good to which he calls us. As we gather in the presence of God, I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land upon which we meet. In his wisdom and love, our heavenly Father gave this estate to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. Upon this land they met for generations until the coming of British settlers. As we continue to learn to live together on these ancestral lands, we acknowledge and pay our respects to their elders, past and present, and pray that God will unite us all in the knowledge of his Son, in whom all things were created, in heaven and on earth, whether visible or invisible—for all things have been created through him and for him. Aboriginal Ministry The existence of the City of Sydney and its foundation and growth is all a consequence of what occurred from the beginning of white settlement when Aboriginal people were dispossessed of their land.

    Proceedings of the 2009 Ordinary Session of the 48th Synod Second Ordinary Session of the 48th Synod of the Diocese of Sydney: October 2009 Summary of Proceedings The 2nd ordinary session of the 48th Synod was held on Monday 19, Tuesday 20, Wednesday 21, Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 October 2009 at the Wesley Theatre, 220 Pitt Street Sydney with afternoon and evening sittings on each of these 5 days. The Synod service was held at 8.15 pm. The service was led by the Rev Peter Hayward. The preacher was the Rev Paul Harrington from Holy Trinity, Adelaide. Presidential Address What with Global Warming, the War on Terror and the Global Financial Crisis, we may well think that we live in apocalyptic times. Extraordinary times provoke big questions. Threatening times give the questions a special edge. We want to understand the signs - the signs of our own era. What’s happening? Why? Where are we? What should we do? What’s the future? Who is responsible? What does it all mean? For many people in our world trouble is personal: some hostile person, using magic, has been able to harness the spiritual powers of the cosmos and they have bent them against us. For others, it is best to explain the times by appeal to such powers as fate or destiny. The fault does lie in the stars; the stars above us govern our conditions. For others there is no meaning at all; we are simply caught up in a vast, unthinking, impersonal universe which is churning through aeons of time, from a big bang to a big stretch, or perhaps a big collapse.
