The staff of the Anglican Church office in Perth - in particular Amanda Griffiths, Melanie Hare and Susan Harvey have been tremendously supportive and helpful. I also appreciate the contribution of Denise Owen who read the entire narrative and reproduced the final text. Special thanks are due to Dr Cynthia Dixon who helped me see the possibilities in conducting a survey, and also to the Reverend E W Doncaster whose enthusiasm for church history in Western Australia is infectious. He has been an invaluable mine of information. And to all the clergy who have been willing to share their experiences of ministry formation, I am deeply grateful. I have tried to avoid sharing the opinions proffered by others without their permission. Any errors and omissions are my responsibility alone. None of this material has been used in work done towards any other degree or diploma. This is my own work.

After a brief look at the · early days, the focus is on the efforts to recruit ordination candidates in Western Australia during the terms of each of the six Archbishops of Perth from 1914 up to the present time. An integral part of the narrative is the histories of the Perth Clergy Training College, later renamed St John's College, from 1899 to 1929 and John Wollaston Theological College, which has served varying roles from 1957 to the present time. Particular attention is given to the period 1972 to 1981, when Wollaston was home to the Interim Course for candidates who, in those years, were sent interstate for their primary theological education. They returned to Perth for a year's training and reflection in pastoral ministry before being ordained and appointed to parishes. The narrative relates how, with the exception of Archbishop Le Fanu, the Archbishops believed that there should be an ordination training programme in Western Australia. The first and third Archbishops believed that the priority was for ordinands to have a liberal education at University, so they could hold their own, as it were, with the leaders of other professions in the community. Archbishop Carnley, in particular, believed that the teaching of theology should be university based, because it was a fundamental discipline. And so we follow the story to the present time when theological education is based at Murdoch University and is taught in an ecumenical setting with each participating church conducting its own programmes in the areas of pastoral care and ministry formation. The total process for the training of clergy presently in vogue is one in which the Church in Western Australia should have justifiable pride, yet the study does suggest that there are

  • 1 a Summary of Recommendations
    A SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS (Figures in parenthesis refer to paragraphs of the Report dealing with these issues). General Synod 1. The overall size of the General Synod should be in the region of 470 to 480. (14-21) 2. The current formula for calculating the number of elected proctors and lay members should remain. (20) 3. The balance of elected proctors and lay members between the two provinces should be moved from 68/32 to 70/30. (21) 4. The representation of suffragan bishops should be seven (four from Canterbury and three from York). (22-23) 5. When a See is vacant, and provided that a suffragan bishop from that diocese is not already an elected member of the Synod, the bishop charged with responsibility for the diocese during the vacancy should be entitled to attend and speak, but not vote. (24-26) 6. Majority: There should be new special constituencies for archdeacons of eight from Canterbury and four from York, to be elected from all archdeacons in the respective provinces. (32-40) 7. There should be a national constituency for cathedral deans of five. (41-42) 8. Majority : The electorate for proctorial elections to the General Synod should be expanded to include clergy with permission to officiate (who would substantially comprise retired clergy) elected to a diocesan synod, who should also be eligible to stand for election to the General Synod. (43-49) 9. The seat on the Synod for the Chaplain General of Prisons should be retained. (50-51) 10. There should be a constituency of seven for the armed forces: at least three to be clergy and at least three to be lay.

  • 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.

  • The History of the North Beach Sub-Branch 1945 – 1991
    HISTORY OF NORTH BEACH SUB-BRANCH WESTERN AUSTRALIA 1945 to 1991 Original Edition was Edited by Joe W. HARRIS and Compiled by Ron E. TOMLINSON This Edition of The History of the North Beach Sub-Branch of RSLWA 1945 to 1991 has not altered, or added to, that originally published. No attempt has been made to edit the content, as it reflects original input and recollections of the members of the Sub-Branch. It has however been reformatted to provide the Sub-Branch with a digital copy in a form that can be distributed to members or added to should the Sub-Branch choose. Brian Jennings Member North Beach Sub-Branch RSLWA July 2020 © North Beach Sub-Branch of the RSLWA 2020 2 PREFACE This history makes no pretence of being founded on actual records until early 1962, as all minutes of meetings from the foundation date were burnt in a fire that destroyed the then Secretary's shed. It has been compiled up to that time from the memory of early members. In most cases over 45 years have elapsed since the members joined the Sub-Branch and many are 75 years old and over. You will therefore appreciate their difficulty in recalling names and dates accurately. Over the last five years I have been urged by the long -term members to put together this History but have lacked the facilities and the know how to complete the task. When Joe Harris joined the Sub-Branch and later published a book to enlighten his family on his service in the Army, I approached him to assist the Sub-Branch with the use of his computer, to produce this History.

  • The Anglicans in New Guinea and the Torres Strait Islands
    wether1 Page 1 Monday, June 26, 2000 11:52 AM PACIFIC STUDIES Vol. 21, No. 4 December 1998 THE ANGLICANS IN NEW GUINEA AND THE TORRES STRAIT ISLANDS David Wetherell Deakin University This study compares the Anglican diocese of Carpentaria in northeastern Aus- tralia with its Anglican neighbor the diocese of New Guinea. While New Guinea called for sacrifice on a heroic scale as befitted a mission among pure “pagans,” Carpentaria was intended primarily as a church for Europeans. However, the withdrawal of thousands of settlers from the Gulf of Carpentaria country from 1910 to 1942 in the wake of recurrent cyclones, economic depression, and drought led to wholesale white depopulation. This depopulation, added to the Anglicans’ acceptance of the London Missionary Society’s sphere in the Torres Strait Islands, left Carpentaria overwhelmingly Islander and Aboriginal in char- acter. Papua New Guinea headed for independence in state and church from the 1960s, but Carpentaria remained largely a missionary diocese, part of whose populations it managed for half a century on threadbare mission stations, with the empty-handed encouragement of the Queensland government. “Those damned churchmen are like the Papists,” remarked M. H. More- ton to a fellow British New Guinea magistrate, “plenty of them willing to be martyrs.”1 The New Guinea Anglican Mission, established by Albert Maclaren and Copland King in 1891, was regarded by its supporters during its “golden age” from the postwar period to 1960 as one of the glories of the Anglican Communion. Its bishop, Philip Strong, was accorded an honored place at Lambeth conferences; its workers, seemingly unbowed by physical deprivation, were acclaimed for upholding the highest ideals of self-sacrifice.

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.

    COVENTRY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2014 Company Registered Number: 319482 Registered Charity Number: 247828 COVENTRY DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE LIMITED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2014 Coventry Diocesan Board of Finance Limited: serving the Diocese of Coventry The Diocese of Coventry is one of 42 dioceses in the Church of England. Re-founded in 1918 but with a history dating back to 658, the diocese has an overall population of approximately 820,000 and covers an area of just under 700 square miles, covering Coventry, most of Warwickshire and a small part of Solihull. The diocese is sub-divided into 11 areas called deaneries and, overall, includes 199 parishes. Some parishes have more than one church - the diocese has 238 churches open for public worship. The diocese has one Cathedral – The Cathedral Church of St Michael, Coventry. Each diocese is led by a Diocesan Bishop. The Right Reverend Doctor Christopher Cocksworth became Bishop of Coventry in 2008. Shortly after his installation he re-affirmed the diocesan mission as one of worshipping God, making new disciples and transforming communities. The diocesan strategy to achieve this is by focussing on eight essential qualities of healthy growing churches: empowering leadership; gift-orientated ministry; passionate spirituality; inspiring worship; holistic small groups; need-orientated outreach; loving relationships; and functional structures. The Coventry Diocesan Board of Finance Limited (“the DBF”) was established under the Diocesan Boards of Finance Measure 1925 and is both a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity.

  • “A Veritable Augustus”: the Life of John Winthrop Hackett, Newspaper
    “A Veritable Augustus”: The Life of John Winthrop Hackett, Newspaper Proprietor, Politician and Philanthropist (1848-1916) by Alexander Collins B.A., Grad.Dip.Loc.Hist., MSc. Presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University March 2007 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been previously submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ……………………….. Alexander Collins ABSTRACT Irish-born Sir John Winthrop Hackett was a man of restless energy who achieved substantial political authority and social standing by means of the power gained through his editorship and part-ownership of the West Australian newspaper and his position in parliament. He was a man with a mission who intended to be a successful businessman, sought to provide a range of cultural facilities and, finally, was the moving force in establishing a tertiary educational institution for the people of Western Australia. This thesis will argue that whatever Hackett attempted to achieve in Western Australia, his philosophy can be attributed to his Irish Protestant background including his student days at Trinity College Dublin. After arriving in Australia in 1875 and teaching at Trinity College Melbourne until 1882, his ambitions took him to Western Australia where he aspired to be accepted and recognised by the local establishment. He was determined that his achievements would not only be acknowledged by his contemporaries, but also just as importantly be remembered in posterity. After a failed attempt to run a sheep station, he found success as part-owner and editor of the West Australian newspaper.
