Winter 2019 View Archived Newsletter winter 2019 A New Diocesan Bishop A priest with former connections with South Australia has been elected as the fifth Bishop of The Murray. The Reverend Keith Dalby, the Rector of St John’s, Gordon, in the Diocese of Sydney for the last 15 years was voted by the Bishop Election Committee to succeed Bishop John Ford, who officially retired at the end of May. The Bishop Election Committee, chaired by the Chancellor, Robert Tong was enacted once Bishop John announced at the end of September 2018 that he would retire. The Committee sought names from all Australian Archbishops, parishes and pastoral districts in the Diocese and within the committee as part of the process. It met regularly and ended up interviewing four candidates, two of “I was born in the UK, after my parents Sydney in 2004 to the Parish of Gordon, them twice before coming to its final married in Adelaide but then returned where I am currently the Rector.” decision at a meeting after the to Adelaide with them before spending He said he had taken an interest in the conclusion of Synod on 26th May.

Donahue __________________________ Mark A. Noll, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana April 2015 © Copyright 2015 James M. Donahue IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 Abstract by James M. Donahue This dissertation traces the origins of the League of Nations movement during the First World War to a coalescent international network of ecumenical figures and Protestant politicians. Its primary focus rests on the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, an organization that drew Protestant social activists and ecumenical leaders from Europe and North America. The World Alliance officially began on August 1, 1914 in southern Germany to the sounds of the first shots of the war. Within the next three months, World Alliance members began League of Nations societies in Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. The World Alliance then enlisted other Christian institutions in its campaign, such as the International Missionary Council, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Blue Cross and the Student Volunteer Movement. Key figures include John Mott, Charles Macfarland, Adolf Deissmann, W. H. Dickinson, James Allen Baker, Nathan Söderblom, Andrew James M.

    During the Great Depression in the mid-sized Michigan town of Jackson, James and Clare Murray welcomed their third son, James on July 5, 1932. His early years were spent playing baseball and running around with his two older brothers, Bill and Jack. He attended St. Mary Catholic Elementary school and was taught by the Sisters of Charity. Jim was naturally left-handed and was fond of retelling the story of the Sisters calling his mom to school concerned about this. She told them, “We know Jim’s a little off, but we like him that way.” And so he remained left-handed and was known throughout his life for his beautiful penmanship. As evidenced by his St. Mary’s High School yearbook (which he served as editor), Jim excelled both academically and also participated in many extracurricular activities including baseball, boxing, the Glee Club, chairman of the Prom Committee and, not surprisingly, was elected Senior Class President at St. Mary High School. During those days he recounted that he had ideas of becoming a priest, but also entertained thoughts of being a doctor or a lawyer. The calling to the Priesthood won out and Jim studied at Sacred Heart Seminary where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and at St. John Seminary, Plymouth earning a Bachelor of Theology degree. He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Lansing by Bishop Joseph H. Albers on June 7, 1958 at St. Mary Cathedral, Lansing. He celebrated his first Mass in his hometown of Jackson at St. Mary Parish and was assisted by long-time friend Fr.

  • WYD Pilgrim Booklet a Reflection: 150 Years of the Diocese of Maitland
    WYD Pilgrim Booklet A Reflection: 150 Years of the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face The rains fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of His hand An Irish Blessing An Invitation to Reflect This booklet has been designed to help pilgrims from the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle to reflect prayerfully on the Catholic heritage of this place in our country. It is intended that this booklet will help to stir up “the voice of the Spirit” in the minds of its readers - whether through seeing the historical images of our past or reading the insights from key sources of wisdom in our global church. To encourage this, each page has a space allocated in which brief comments and personal reflections can be recorded. It is hoped that each pilgrim will take time to sit with the content in this booklet; slowly connect with the story of our diocese celebrating its 150 years, and then continue to imagine how they might contribute to the mission of the diocese in the future. Some questions readers might like to contemplate include: How do I fit into the story of this diocese? What might God be inviting me to do at this time? What kind of picture would I like to be in when the diocese reaches its 200 years celebrations? The members of the 150 Years Celebrations committee, wish you a safe and meaningful pilgrimage, and the prayers of our diocesan community go with you on your journey.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

It’s not that I see Mr Johnson as some sort of prophet – although for some reason my abiding image of an Old Testament prophet always seems to include an exuberant hairstyle! Furthermore, I’m quite certain that Mr Johnson and Moses would have a hugely different understanding of what ‘the promised land’ might be like. No, it was just that Boris was speaking of the gradual easing of the lockdown provisions and he cautioned that: “It is coming down from the mountain that is often more dangerous.” And that made me think.
