CHARACTERISTICS AND CORRELATES OF ANGLICAN RELIGIOSITY IN THE DIOCESES OF SYDNEY AND NEWCASTLE: AN HISTORICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY A THESIS PRESENTED TO EDITH COWAN UNIVERSITY In fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Sociology/Anthropology) by Roy Maxwell Hazlewood, B.A., M.Litt. August 2008 USE OF THESIS The Use of Thesis statement is not included in this version of the thesis. iii ABSTRACT The aim of the study is to investigate the characteristics and correlates of Anglican religiosity in the Dioceses of Sydney and Newcastle and to present the findings as an historical and sociological study. The historical overview shows that the Anglican Dioceses of Sydney and Newcastle developed with two different streams of churchmanship predominant: “conservative evangelical” (low church) and “catholic” (high church) respectively. Historically each diocese has been influenced by the churchmanship of its bishops and by other prominent clergy and laity. The theological colleges at which the clergy received their theological training have contributed to the dominant churchmanship of each diocese. In the case of Sydney it has been Moore Theological College and for Newcastle it has been St. John’s Theological College, first at Armidale and then at Morpeth. Neither diocese, however, is monochrome, each having its conservative evangelical parishes, clergy and people and catholic or broad/central church parishes, clergy and people. Smart’s (1971) six dimensions of religiosity were used to seek explanations for Anglican religiosity. Consideration was given to demographic and other social variables that are related to religiosity. A number of theories proposed as sociological explanation of religiosity were examined and the doctrinal belief theory and the value structure theory were confirmed in the study. Roof’s local/cosmopolitan theory was not confirmed. Data were obtained from 263 respondent lay members who were systematically sampled from the parish rolls of systematically sampled parishes from each diocese. The study showed, based on the combined sample of respondents, that theological (the doctrinal dimension) and moral (the ethical dimension) conservatism were important predictors of the practice of religiosity (the ritual, experiential and social dimensions). The data confirmed that Lehman’s social dimension of ecclesiological localism was a good predictor of the practice of religiosity. The data showed also that some of the demographic variables in the study affected some of Smart’s (1971) dimensions of religion. Some diocesan characteristics were noted in preferred churchmanship, in demographic and other social variables, and in religious belief and practice indicating significant differences between the two dioceses. iv DECLARATION I certify that this thesis does not, to the best of my knowledge and belief: (i) incorporate without acknowledgement any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any institution of higher education; (ii) contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text; or (iii) contain any defamatory material.

    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.

  • The Search for Real Christianity: Nineteenth-Century England for a Number of Lessons, We Have Been Looking at Church History In
    Reformation & Modern Church History Lesson 31, Page 1 The Search for Real Christianity: Nineteenth-Century England For a number of lessons, we have been looking at church history in America. Now we go back to the continent of Europe and to England for this lesson. The prayer I will open with comes from the prayer book of the Church of England, from what is called “The Lesser Peace and Fast.” One of the celebration days on the church calendar of the Church of England has to do with a man whose name will come up in today’s lesson, Charles Simeon. On that particular day in the prayer book, this prayer relates to the life and testimony of Charles Simeon. So, as we begin this lesson, I would like for us to use this prayer, thanking the Lord for Simeon and other faithful ministers whom we will be talking about during this time. Let us pray. O loving Lord, we know that all things are ordered by Thine unswerving wisdom and unbounded love. Grant us in all things to see Thy hand, that following the example of Charles Simeon, we may walk with Christ with all simplicity and serve Thee with a quiet and contented mind through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and with the Holy Spirit—one God forever and ever. Amen. As we think about the history of Christianity in England in the nineteenth century, we begin, of course, with the Church of England, and we begin with the Broad Church. In one of Henry Fielding’s novels, he has a character who says this, “When I mention religion, I mean the Christian religion and not only the Christian religion but the Protestant religion and not only the Protestant religion but the Church of England.” And that was probably the attitude of many people who were members of the church in England in the nineteenth century, particularly members of what was called the Broad Church or adherents to the Broad Church philosophy.

For as the man in Phaedrus that being asked what he carried hidden under his cloak, answered, it was hidden under his cloak; meaning that he would not have hidden it but that he intended it should be secret; so we may say in this mystery to them that curiously ask what or how it is, mysterium est, ‘it is a sacrament and a mystery;’ by sensible instruments it consigns spiritual graces, by the creatures it brings us to God, by the body it ministers to the Spirit.
