  • Alumni News 29
    NEWS ALUMNIDecember • Issue 29 - 2005 UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA Delivering more than ever Providing mail room solutions for the University of Tasmania. Welcome to the 2005 end of year edition of Alumni News Australian universities are about the same size as a medieval city, a small town or a city suburb. They are mini-civilisations – small communities within a broader web. As the State of Tasmania’s only university, we at UTAS have always felt a strong sense of duty towards the community that we were born from. And as our State grows in both size and economic wealth, we too are growing. So is our economic contribution. We are planning for “20,000 by 2020” – around 20,000 full-time equivalent students by the year 2020. We are already the third largest non-government employer in the State, and 85 per cent of our budget remains here on the island. Our international students contribute around $50 million to the State’s thriving economy, and for every 100 new UTAS students around 26 Tasmanian jobs are created. As one of the top ten research universities in the country, it is gratifying to note that UTAS research and development makes up some 30 per cent of Tasmania’s innovation. Australia is becoming an increasingly challenging environment in which to run a university – both economically and ideologically – so we are delighted that the fiscal relationship we have with our State is a healthy one. But it is not, of course, the be-all and the end-all. We are in the business of creating human capital.

  • 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.

We no longer have services in such places, communities, Kinglake and Marysville that have seen we have meetings and the buildings express that their churches destroyed and many of their parishioners understanding. rendered homeless. 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.
