Council meetings commence with worship and prayer as members seek God’s blessing on their deliberations and seek to discern God’s will for the Anglican Church in Southern Queensland. Following membership changes after the 2017 Synod elections, 2018 was a year in which new Diocesan Council members settled into their roles and the Council continued to address the challenges facing the Anglican Church in Southern Queensland. Central to Diocesan Council’s governance activities were: • Ongoing engagement with the Commissions, approving their strategic plans and receiving reports on their implementation. • Strategic discussions around parish data analysis and actions required to help parishes flourish, including discussions on the parish growth framework, leadership development and linking parish property decisions more closely to mission plans. • Final implementation of the governance and shared services review undertaken in 2017. • Approving a revised risk management policy to suit the new structure and continuing to monitor key risk and compliance areas. • Continuing to address policies for safer ministry and responding to claims relating to child sexual abuse, particularly in the context of the introduction of the National Redress Scheme. Following implementation of the governance and shared services review, three key operating areas for the Diocese have emerged: Diocesan Operations, Community Services/Anglicare (CSC) and Schools / Early Childhood Services (ASC). Diocesan Operations refers to the areas of operation most closely aligned to contributing to parish health and flourishing: the Archbishop and Regional Bishops, the General Manager’s Office, FDSC, PMC and MEC. 8 Diocesan Council has engaged with how the activities of Diocesan Operations can be more closely focussed on supporting ministry in parishes and other agencies. This includes consideration of how the other operating areas of the Diocese contribute to this, particularly Schools / Early Childhood Services. The outlook for Diocesan Council in 2019 has started with consideration of three key focus areas: • Renewing and reforming culture and traditions • Parish Health • Resourcing & Sustainability. Renewing & Reforming Culture & Traditions – This area focuses on our culture and traditions and how these may be renewed or reformed to help us all share in God’s mission in the Diocese. We are challenged to look to what has been compelling about Anglicanism through history and how that is translated to our current time. It challenges us to be both faithful to God and to our culture and those traditions and effective in how we express them today. This links closely into the key area of focus in parish health (below). Examples of actions: • Developing and implementing an 18-30s strategy based on being faithful and effective • Reviewing and renewing the vision for Anglican Schools • Justice policy and advocacy Parish Health – Focuses on developing and implementing a parish growth framework: • Centred on leadership, strategy and resources • An agreed approach to measuring parish health • Discerning actions and strategies for parishes to collaborate with each other • Providing support for the wellbeing of our leaders. Other actions include: • Establishing a leadership development framework for ACSQ for ordained and lay leaders • Identifying and developing flexibly delivered ministry education offerings for clergy and lay people that empower them to share their faith • Developing and implementing a whole of Church model to embed safe ministry in our Church culture. Resourcing & Sustainability – FDSC has developed a detailed strategic plan and road map over 2019–21 centred on resourcing our mission imaginatively and sustainably. Diocesan Council has also stated its intention that the Diocesan budget return to balance in 2021. Significant investment has been made to develop capabilities and resources to provide the services that can assist parishes to flourish. The key strategic challenge is whether 9 we can sustainably afford the capabilities and resources that have been developed

  • 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.

    Newsletter No 38 March 2009 ISSN 1836-5116 crosses or stained glass windows. These were regarded President’s Comments as idolatrous. This column is being written on the day after Ash Most of the recently built Sydney Anglican Churches Wednesday. This year Ash Wednesday cannot but fit this pattern- they are plain and functional with help to remind us of the tragic Victorian bushfires minimal decoration and generally devoid of religious and the thousands of people who have been so deeply symbolism. They are places to meet with others and the affected by them. focus of attention is a stage with a podium and As Anglicans we are also aware of the two microphone. 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.

  • Hansard 8 August 2002
    8 Aug 2002 Legislative Assembly 2821 THURSDAY, 8 AUGUST 2002 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Newspaper Articles, Mr M. Yanner Hon. T. McGRADY (Mount Isa—ALP) (Minister for Police and Corrective Services and Minister Assisting the Premier on the Carpentaria Minerals Province) (9.30 a.m.): I rise to refute claims attributed to Mr Murrandoo Yanner in various publications today in which it is claimed that I intervened to have police conduct raids at various properties in the gulf region on Tuesday. During the raid, seven people were charged with a range of offences, one of which involved Mr Yanner. In various Queensland newspapers today, Mr Yanner has claimed that the charges were politically motivated and that they stem from a stoush with me. I categorically reject these baseless claims. I confirm to the House today that I was not even made aware of the matter until after the raids had taken place. The unfounded allegation that I somehow engaged in unethical behaviour by interfering in this operational matter is not only insulting and slanderous but also totally ludicrous. It is also an insult to the police involved. I will not entertain Mr Yanner's conspiracy theories. He will have his day in court to have this matter heard. In the meantime, I will also be seeking legal advice in relation to the comments that have been attributed to Mr Yanner today. ASSENT TO BILLS Mr SPEAKER: Honourable members, I have to report that I have received from His Excellency the Governor a letter in respect to assent to certain bills, the contents of which will be incorporated in the records of parliament.
