  • 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. Page | 28 BAIRD: Refugees, Immigrants, and the Anglican Church in the Wollongong Region were certainly aware of how the Anglican Church had served the multicultural community in the preceding decade.

  • Aspects of Protestant Youth Ministry in Sydney 1930-1959
    1 From a ministry for youth to a ministry of youth _____________________________________________________________________________ Aspects of Protestant youth ministry in Sydney 1930-1959 Ruth Lukabyo A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Ancient History Centre for the History of Christian Thought and Experience Macquarie University February 2018 3 Abstract In this history of Protestant youth ministry in Sydney, the years 1930-1959 are shown to be a time when significant changes occurred in the way that ministry to youth was conducted. There was a new methodology, a change from a ministry for youth to a ministry of youth. The change came about because of the impact of war and depression, the development of secondary education, the resurgence of Conservative Evangelical theology, the creation of new institutions and the influence of key individuals. This new methodology had certain characteristics which can be seen in ministries in the university, schools and local parishes. It nurtured the leadership of young people and gave them agency. It formed peer groups where young people constructed a robust Christian identity and every member was encouraged to be active in fellowship and witness. It moved towards a co-educational model that fostered a partnership between young men and women. This thesis identifies two different streams of youth ministry, Conservative Evangelical and Liberal Evangelical. The streams used the same methodology, but had different ultimate goals. The Conservative goal was revival through evangelism, and the Liberal was the nurture of Christian character and the Christianisation of civilisation. After the war, the Conservative stream came to predominate.
