    Ministry Commission Report to General Synod 2007

    COMMISSION: MINISTRY MINISTRY COMMISSION The Ministry Commission in this triennium has overviewed ministry practice within the Anglican Church of Australia identifying urgent issues before this Church and responding to the three references made to the Commission by the last General Synod, the Standing Committee and the General Secretary. Membership of the Commission Bishop Brian Farran (Chair), Archbishop Jeffrey Driver, Bishop Rob Nolan, Canon Colleen O’Reilly, Archdeacon Peter Stuart, the Reverends Mark Charleston and Kevin Bourke, Dr. Grahame Feletti. References to the Commission 1. Model Statement for Clergy & Model Performance Review The 2004 General Synod requested the Ministry Commission to develop a model statement for clergy of the expectations and responsibilities of their roles and entitlements at the time of their appointment. The Commission developed such a document which the Standing Committee sent to Dioceses after its October 2006 meeting for the consideration of and response by the dioceses to the Ministry Commission. Only the Diocese of Bendigo has forwarded comments to the Ministry Commission upon this document. The document is too substantial to include in this report. The review of responses to the document will be on the agenda of the Ministry Commission. The second component of the General Synod 2004 reference was the request for the development of a model review of the performance of the clergy. The Commission developed guidelines for the review of clergy in ministry using the mnemonic review. Introduction Throughout the Australian Church there is increased interest in reviewing the effectiveness, appropriateness and direction of clergy ministry. The clergy themselves, bishops and church leaders want to see in what ways the ministry being exercised makes a difference.
  • Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012

    Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012

    CHAPTER 15 Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012 hile the health of the gatherings new and old was the central concern of the pastors led by Paul Harrington, these years saw many other efforts at developing the effectiveness of Holy Trinity’s ministry, both to its existing members and to those Wwho might join once they had heard and been convinced by the teaching on offer. This chapter examines some of those other endeavours over the decade or more since 2000. ***** Setting up and caring for the early years of the Hills congregation while maintaining a clear view of opportunities on North Terrace saw Harrington and his team maintain a fairly steady course through 2000–2001. The procedure of promoting the subsequent year’s budget by publishing a ‘Vision for Ministry’ in the spring was now well established. It permitted Harrington to promote his intentions and get responses to the draft budget from the congregation. The wardens then adjusted their plans accordingly. It made the subsequent annual vestry meetings less fraught, and meant the costs incurred before the Vestry meeting were more predictable. One immediate change saw Andrew Cole joined the team to replace Jeff Parkin, now titled site manager Cole would work with a revivified site management team that lifted the security and general health of the North Terrace buildings. A major pastoral initiative was launched by Lyn Sarah, drawing on her social work experience as well as her developing theological studies. She introduced what she called the ‘PEACE Pastoral Care’ model. Her goal was to develop a growing number of members of the congregation who were trained in a more intentional approach to pastoral care, while not ever pretending to be professional counselors.

I have to confess that my experience over twenty years of ordained ministry has changed my thinking on the value of the building and made me question the ‘rain shelter’ view. God clearly has a sense of humour for if you had told me at the age of 16 that 40 years later I would be the rector of an Anglican parish with two heritage church buildings complete with stained glass, crosses, candles and liturgical colours I would have been incredulous. So how should we regard our church buildings? To me they function somewhat like the sacraments. They are visible reminders of a spiritual reality, namely the gathered Christian community. For those on the outside, the Church building bears witness to the fact that the people who meet there take God seriously.
