An ecclesiological enquiry into metropolitical authority and provincial polity in the Anglican Communion. Abstract For at least the past two decades, international Anglicanism has been gripped by a crisis of identity: what is to be the dynamic between autonomy and interdependence? Where is authority to be located? How might the local relate to the international? How are the variously diverse national churches to be held together ‘in communion’? These questions have prompted an explosion of interest in Anglican ecclesiology within both the church and academy, with particular emphasis exploring the nature of episcopacy, synodical government, liturgy and belief, and common principles of canon law.

  • Sydney and Melbourne Anglicans from 1836 to 2009: Historical and Personal Reflections “ Bishop Barbara Darling, Diocese of Melbourne
    ADDRESS TO THE ANGLICANS TOGETHER DINNER, Sydney - 20 November 2009 “Sydney and Melbourne Anglicans from 1836 to 2009: Historical and personal reflections “ Bishop Barbara Darling, Diocese of Melbourne Thank you for your invitation to be here this evening. It is always a joy to come back to the city where I was born and grew up, and to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House out of the window of the plane when we are landing. It is not so much of a joy to know that my clerical orders of priest and bishop have to be left over the border and picked up again when I return to Melbourne – or go to Canberra /Goulburn or Newcastle! But that is all part of the reflection I would like to give this evening – looking at developments in Sydney Diocese and Melbourne Diocese both historically and personally. I would like you to come with me on a journey – as a lover of history and a lecturer in that subject I am fascinated by how the past has moulded us and shaped us, and helped to make us the people and the institutions we are today. I have decided to look at our past every twenty yeas or so, and see what was significant at that time, and how that links in with us today as members of the two largest Anglican Dioceses in Australia – Dioceses that developed very differently. So let’s start with 1836 – and you will see why in a moment. William Grant Broughton, Archdeacon of NSW and responsible to the Bishop of Calcutta, had travelled to England to seek help in the establishing of the Church of England in the colony of NSW.

The thesis of this history of the Sydney Anglican Home Mission Society (originally named the Sydney Church Society), spanning the years 1856 to 1958, demonstrates the central argument of this study that the development and prosperity of the Society was dependent on the ability or its episcopal leadership to win the support of the largely conservative Evangelical clergy and laity of the Diocese of Sydney.

  • Anglican Evangelicalism in Sydney 1897 1953
    !"#$" %"& '! %& ( )!*# ' +!, %! # )-.$"*&*/'$"0$"1-$1/' "*2/('*&, )/3 -&!4$#/' ‘ANGLICAN EVANGELICALISM IN SYDNEY 1897-1953’ The thesis explores the spectrum of Evangelical (Anglican) doctrine taught at Moore Theological College and the Diocese of Sydney, under three historically significant heads of the College – Nathaniel Jones (1897-1911), DJ Davies (1911-1935) and TC Hammond (1936-1953). The principles underlying their thought as well as their specific doctrinal views are explored in historical context. Part I surveys pertinent nineteenth century intellectual and ecclesiastical challenges and the response of contemporary Evangelical thinkers. The development of the College’s tradition is recounted in the light of its founder’s intention. Part II attempts to define Principal Jones’s place in the Evangelical spectrum of the day, including the two additions of the latter half of the nineteenth century, namely a premillennial expectation of Christ’s return and the holiness teaching of Keswick. A fresh examination of the sources does not find the narrow outlook usually attributed to him and to his legacy. Part III, on Principal Davies, locates him in the Evangelical spectrum as broadened by the liberal theological ideas prevalent in Cambridge at the turn of the nineteenth century. It explores for the first time the degree and limits of his liberal convictions. It notes the tensions created, which culminated in a noteworthy election of a new archbishop in 1933, and resistance to him in his early years. Part IV examines the thought of Principal Hammond, whom it locates in the same part of the Evangelical spectrum as Jones, and as sharing with him the Keswick holiness addition, but not premillennialism.
