  • Draft Synod Minutes 11 October 2016
    1 50th Synod of the Diocese of Sydney 3rd Ordinary Session Minutes of Proceedings of the Synod for Tuesday 11 October 2016 1. Assembly The Synod assembled in the Wesley Theatre at 3.15 pm. 2. Bible study The Rev Gary Koo led the Bible study. 3. Minutes The President signed the minutes for Monday 10 October 2016. 4. Answers to Questions 4.1 Distribution of funds raised by Anglicare in the Syrian and Iraqi Refugee appeal The Rev David Clarke asked the following question – How much of the $746,000 raised by Anglicare in the Syrian and Iraqi Refugee appeal has so far been distributed to parishes currently engaged in ministering to Syrian and Iraqi people? To which the President replied – In September 2015, I called upon the Sydney Diocese to come together to mount a prayerful, practical, sustained and effective response to assist refugees coming to Australia fleeing the Syrian conflict. As the lead organisation for this response, Anglicare launched the Archbishop’s Syrian Refugee Appeal and designed a program that addressed current gaps in service delivery, and which would involve wherever possible the involvement of parishes and individual Sydney Anglicans. Between September 2015 and May 2016, the appeal raised $746,000, enough to fully fund the program until July 2018. Parishes do not receive direct funding through this program, however resources are directed toward parish-based programs. The program involves – Parish-based English as a Second Language (ESL) classes; Community and parish-based Early Learning Through Play courses to prepare pre-school aged refugee children for kindergarten; Family support and trauma counselling through Anglicare’s Hope Counselling program; Training for parish volunteers in assisting refugees; and Assistance with material needs and transitional accommodation.

  • Open Letter from Episcopal Bishops
    “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by doing so, some have entertained angels unawares.” (HEBREWS 13:1) President Donald Trump and Members of Congress, As bishops of the Episcopal Church we implore you not to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. To do so would endanger the lives of thousands of young people and their families and run contrary to the faith and moral traditions of our country. It is unfair to threaten the well-being of young people who arrived in our country as children through no choice of their own. Ending DACA without a similar replacement program will force these young people to face the future in this country with little access to education and employment, and ultimately, could very well lead to sending them to countries where they did not grow up, have few support structures, may not even speak the language and may be vulnerable to violence and persecution. Any of these scenarios, we believe, is cruel. The alternative for us as a country is to move forward, to celebrate and benefit from the presence of these ‘Dreamers’ and to provide a pathway to citizenship that enables them to remain and strengthen our country. The Episcopal Church has long advocated for bipartisan comprehensive immigration reforms that prioritize family unity and humanitarian concerns. It is time for Congress to develop long-term solutions for immigrant families. In front of most of the Episcopal Churches across the country is a sign that says, ‘The Episcopal Church Welcomes You.’ We have this sign because we are followers of the way of Jesus of Nazareth, and our Christian tradition shares with many other faith bodies the absolute importance of welcoming the foreigner in our midst.

  • Douglas Sparks: Answers to Questions
    Douglas Sparks: Answers to Questions Explain why you feel called to be a bishop, including your discernment process and what you have learned from it. What special gifts underscore your call to the Diocese of Minnesota specifically? I believe a call to ministry comes from within a Faith Community. It is an invitation to consider and discern a call to ministry in the midst of that community. This applies to the ministry of all the Baptized and ministry as a deacon, presbyter or bishop. It’s at the heart of the discernment for congregations considering Total Ministry as well. It is out of this belief and invitation that I respond. I’ve been encouraged by people in our diocese, lay and ordained, to offer myself to the process of discernment leading to election to serve as Bishop of our diocese. The call to serve is specific…as Bishop of Minnesota. The invitation comes from people who have worked with me and know the diocese and its opportunities and challenges. I have spent time in prayer and in conversation with others. I asked people to visit the website, review the survey and other material as a way of giving context to our conversation. In addition to my wife, Dana, and our three children, I discussed this with a number of people. In each conversation, they said they believe I have the gifts the diocese is looking for and should offer myself to see what the Church and Holy Spirit have to say. So I do, trusting in God’s grace. I have found my voice as a Servant Leader during some difficult decisions in the diocese and gained the respect of lay and other ordained leaders.

  • “We Are Together Because We Are Called to Do This Work”
    “We Are Together Because We are Called to Do this Work” Lutheran Episcopal Coordinating Committee February 8-10, 2017 Lutheran Center, Chicago, Illinois The Lutheran Episcopal Coordinating Committee met at the Lutheran Center in Chicago, February 8-10, 2017. This committee is charged with encouraging and assisting efforts in The Episcopal Church (TEC) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) as they live into their relationship of full communion provided for in “Called to Common Mission” (CCM). This meeting, which brought a number of new members and guests to the sessions, was devoted to looking backward, appraising the present, and looking forward. Specific attention was devoted to collaboration in advocacy, with focus on the distinctive challenges and outlooks of the current moment. A staff member for advocacy expressed the shared commitment of the two churches this way: “We are here together because we are called to do this work – not necessarily because we will ‘win.’” As always, times for prayer framed the days, and the Eucharist was celebrated according to both Episcopal and the Lutheran traditions. The committee welcomed a new Episcopal co-chair, the. Rt. Rev. Douglas Sparks, Bishop of the Diocese of Northern Indiana. Joining him and continuing member the Rev. Jon Perez were new TEC members: the Rev. Nils Chittenden, the Rev. Nancy Green, and the Rev. Canon Dr. David Perry, as well as the Rev. Canon Rob Towler, representing the Joint Anglican-Lutheran Commission (JALC) in Canada. On the Lutheran side, co-chair Bishop Donald Kreiss joined continuing members Dr. Mitzi Budde and the Rev.

  • Synod 2021: Presidential Address (Peter Hayward)
    Presidential Address First Session of the 52nd Synod of the Diocese of Sydney The Right Reverend Peter Hayward 3rd May 2021 Members of Synod welcome to the first ordinary session of the 52nd Synod of the Diocese of Sydney. When the 51st ordinary session concluded in October 2019, the Pandemic and the circumstances that have occurred over the last 19 months were not even remotely contemplated. Yet, in God's providence, we now meet for a one-day session of Synod. Immediately following this session will be a special session of the 52nd Synod to elect a new Archbishop. His kindness has given us the opportunity to keep going in the good to which he calls us. As we gather in the presence of God, I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land upon which we meet. In his wisdom and love, our heavenly Father gave this estate to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. Upon this land they met for generations until the coming of British settlers. As we continue to learn to live together on these ancestral lands, we acknowledge and pay our respects to their elders, past and present, and pray that God will unite us all in the knowledge of his Son, in whom all things were created, in heaven and on earth, whether visible or invisible—for all things have been created through him and for him. Aboriginal Ministry The existence of the City of Sydney and its foundation and growth is all a consequence of what occurred from the beginning of white settlement when Aboriginal people were dispossessed of their land.
