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.

(University of NSW) B.D. (University of Sydney) Grad. Dip. Min. (Melbourne College of Divinity) School of Arts Faculty of Arts Griffith University A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2007 ABSTRACT The Anglican Church of Australia agreed to a national constitution in 1962. Yet at a national level it is hardly a cohesive body with a sense of unity and common purpose. Historically, Australian Anglicanism developed along regional lines, with the result that diocesan separateness rather than national unity became enshrined as a foundational principle of Anglicanism in Australia. This study questions this fundamental premise of the Anglican tradition in Australia. It argues (1) that it is not a true reflection of the Anglican ethos, both in its English origins and worldwide, and (2) that it prevents Anglicanism in Australia from embracing its national vocation. An alternative tradition has been present, in fact, within Australian Anglicanism from the beginning, although it has not been considered to be part of the mainstream. Bishop Broughton, the first Anglican bishop in Australia, was deeply sensitive to the colonial context in which the Anglican tradition was being planted, and he adapted it accordingly.

  • The First Decade
    THE FIRST DECADE A short history of the establishment of St Lukes Anglican Church Wandal, 1900 to 1910 taken entirely from “The Anglican Gazette’ and other Diocese of Rockhampton archives. Compiled by Canon Janne Whitehead, 16th Rector of the Parish, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of the third church building, Sunday 29 August 2010. A NEED EMERGES The last decade of the nineteenth century was a time of growth and building in the town of Rockhampton. The Diocese itself formally came into being in 1892 with Bishop Nathaniel Dawes as the first Bishop, and soon after, quite a few new district churches were constructed in the town. The Cathedral parish had been active in worship and ministry since 1860, and by the 1890s, found it necessary to establish new worshipping communities. The first of these new District Churches was St Barnabas’ North Rockhampton, the foundation stone for which was laid by the Governor Lord Lamington on Sunday 24 January 1897. Next a building was acquired in Allenstown in September 1898 to house the considerable numbers of children attending Sunday School there, and to begin worship services in the area. It is well worth noting that St Paul’s Cathedral was actually consecrated on St Lukes Day, 18 October 1886, and for many decades, the Cathedral parish held annual celebrations of the Dedication Festival and Anniversary of Consecration on the Sunday closest to St Lukes Day, often in conjunction with Confirmation and a “Parochial Tea”. St Lukes community was also part of the Cathedral parish1, and the locality was referred to as North West Rockhampton.

  • Donald Robinson and the Imperfect Unity of an Australian Prayer Book (1978)1
    JUDD: The Imperfect Unity of AAPB 4 Donald Robinson and the Imperfect Unity of An Australian Prayer Book (1978)1 Andrew Judd An Australian Prayer Book (AAPB) ‘is Donald Robinson’s book par excellance. And he shares that proprietorship with Gilbert Sinden of Adelaide’.2 This, the opinion of fellow commissioner Edwin Judge, is only barely an overstatement. Robinson was one of only three men to see the commission through from 1962 to 1978, and its minutes reveal he was extremely active in its meetings.3 Together with Evan Burge and Gilbert Sinden, much of the drafting of the final prayer book is indeed Robinson’s work.4 Yet it was not through quantity of work that Robinson left his imprint on AAPB. Rather, it was through two of Robinson’s defining personal characteristics. First, his idiosyncratic scholarship, his logical approach to words, and his grasp of liturgical history propelled the commission down an inevitably evangelical course. Second, his intellectual generosity and principled churchmanship nurtured a spirit of trust and cooperation. This often enabled true agreement, and not just compromise, to be reached with those who did not share his evangelical convictions. AAPB is, because of Robinson, an imperfect unity, but one truly attempted. It is the closest Australian Anglicans would ever come to finding ‘a common ground behind divergences of tradition’.5 1 My sincere thanks to Professor Edwin Judge, Rt Rev Donald Robinson, Marie Robinson, Dr Louise Trott, Kim Robinson, Rev Peter Robinson, Associate Professor Stuart Piggin, Dr Stephen Judd, Rev Dr Bill Lawton, Professor Barry Spurr, Rev Dr John Bunyan and Rev Dr Colin Bale.

  • The Development of Eucharistic Liturgies in the Anglican Church of Australia
    QL 94 (2013) 175-195 doi: 10.2143/QL.94.3.3007363 © 2013, all rights reserved THE DEVELOPMENT OF EUCHARISTIC LITURGIES IN THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF AUSTRALIA Part 1: A Case Study in Multiformity up to 1995 1. Anglican Eucharistic Theology Is Multiform Anglican eucharistic theology and eucharistic liturgies vary not only be- tween the different theological hermeneutics of parties such as Anglican Catholics and Anglican Evangelicals but also between different philoso- phical assumptions, such as realism and nominalism.1 Realists, most typically Anglican Catholics, base their assumptions on the linking of the signs of the Eucharist2 with what they signify such that the signs instanti- ate what they signify.3 Nominalists, most typically Anglican Evangeli- cals, deny this realist analysis and do not link the signs with what they signify in any real way apart from the enquiring mind and by semantic analysis. Hermeneutic idealism is often the reason for the multiformity of Anglican eucharistic theology and its expression in liturgical forms. Hermeneutic idealism is a term derived from the work of the German philosopher Jurgen Habermas and has been defined by Terence Lovat and Brian Douglas as “that conceptualizing of reality that is totally de- pendent on one’s own (or one’s communal groups’) beliefs, values and interpretations, whilst at the same time remaining blind to their causes, background and those wider connections that would contextualize them and help those holding them to see that they are in fact just one set of beliefs, values and interpretations in a sea of related and unrelated sets.”4 This means that various parties within Anglicanism express particular 1.
