Kind regards STEVE LUCAS Legal Officer Table of Contents • Presidential Address and Mission Presentation • The Missionary Hour • Elections • Resolutions passed • Ordinances passed • Ordinances introduced • Appendix A: Text of Resolutions Presidential Address and Mission Presentation The Archbishop opened his Presidential Address and Mission Presentation by reflecting on God’s “unusual work” in the Reformation and in particular the martyrdom of Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer on 16 October 1555. In the Archbishop’s words – “We see, in the light which they gave us. We are their descendants, because they played a major role in the recovery of the evangelical gospel in England. They did much in their lives and teaching; they did most through their deaths. Months later, the cause of the Reformation was further sealed with the death by burning of Thomas Cranmer. It was their evangelical Protestantism which has been the major shaping force in this Diocese. When we forget them, we forget who we are. Through them God did a major and unusual work, with consequences even now still apparent.” The Archbishop posed a question for our Diocese: “Will we see an unusual work of God in our time?” This question formed the backbone of his Address.

Cassell’s Dictionary of Insulting Quotations is one of the books I keep permanently beside my bed. It gives me pleasure to hear what has been said about real leaders. Take General Eisenhower, whose credentials included being the Supreme Commander for the invasion of Europe in 1944 and President of the United States of America. 2. Dean Acheson said of him ‘I doubt very much if a man whose main literary interests are in Zane Grey cowboy stories…is particularly well equipped to be the chief executive of this country…particularly where Indian affairs are concerned.'1 Nikita Krushchev, the Soviet leader was bold enough to claim, ‘President Roosevelt proved that a president could serve for life; Truman proved that anyone could be president; Eisenhower proved that your country could be run without a president.’ 3.

  • To Know God and to Make Him Known 1980–1993
    CHAPTER 10 To Know God and to Make Him Known 1980–1993 eg Piper was thirty-eight when appointed to Trinity, where he was inducted on 16 January 1980. He grew up in the Wollongong district, took a BSc degree at the Australian National University and then studied at Moore College. Ordained in 1967, he served Ra formative curacy under Alan Begbie at Willoughby in suburban Sydney, another at Lalor Park, then was curate-in-charge at Hurstville Grove before becoming rector of Kiama for four years. Again, like his friend Paul Barnett, he and his wife Dorothy brought young children to the rectory at Prospect. Truth and love Piper’s concerns and those of many of the congregation matched closely. He brought with him a strong sense of the evangelical tradition, to which he was committed to expressing through a sustained preaching minis- try. Although he had a BD from the Melbourne College of Divinity and a ThSchol from the Australian College of Theology, Piper did not claim to be a scholar. He sought to achieve close and friendly rapport with his congregation, building on the foundations of mutual responsibility which Barnett had laid. At his first annual vestry (March 1980) he issued a clear manifesto: It is my desire that truth should reign in our congregation. It is my firm conviction that the Bible is God’s Word. We will aim to have all our preaching, our exhortations, our encourage- ments, our prayers, our discussions, our singing come under the authority of the Scripture. I care little for style or aesthetics or spontaneity or anything else if it is not found right by this measure.

  • Refugees, Immigrants, and the Anglican Church in the Wollongong Region
    BAIRD: Refugees, Immigrants, and the Anglican Church in the Wollongong Region For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless love to share: Refugees, Immigrants, and the Anglican Church in the Wollongong region from the 1970s to 1990s Jonathan Baird INTRODUCTION The Australian national anthem makes much of the nation’s land endowments: its golden soil, being girt by sea and abounding in nature’s gifts. The other reference is in the less-sung second verse from which we’ve derived our title: “For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless plains to share”. The city of greater Wollongong could hardly be described as having “boundless plains” compared with the more rural areas even within its own diocesan region. Yet this city, situated between the escarpment on the west and beaches on the east, has indeed shared its land with immigrants for decades following World War II. The city has long been proudly multicultural but it has been very religious for even longer still. The question being asked in the early 1990s by the Anglican Church in the Wollongong region was effectively this: Could the largest protestant church of an already proudly multicultural city be fulfilling its evangelical cause if it remained mono-cultural in membership and/or failed to serve its multicultural community including newly arriving immigrants?1 Those asking it 1 John Thew, ‘Personal Interview’, 8 April 2014, Transcript, 1-2.

Introduction My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, this is the last time I will address you in this forum as the bishop of the diocese. I am grateful for the privilege of serving God in this office for the last seven and a half years. I thank you for calling me to this role. It has been an eventful, stimulating and challenging time for my wife and me. There have been a number of unexpected events: things that no one could have anticipated. However, I look back with a sense of gratitude to God for the experience of serving as the Archbishop of Sydney and Metropolitan of New South Wales. Thanks I trust that somewhere closer to 19 March 2001 I will have an opportunity to thank personally the extensive list of people who have shared this ministry with me and to whom I owe much.
