  • Anglicans and Abortion: Sydney in the Seventies
    COLVILLE: Anglicans and Abortion: Sydney in the Seventies Anglicans and Abortion: Sydney in the Seventies Murray Colville SYNOPSIS This paper considers the public voice of the Anglican Church in Sydney as it discussed and took part in debates concerning the issue of medical abortion during the 1970s. Just prior to this decade, UK law changes and church discussions were bringing this issue on to the table. Contrary to many other voices, the Sydney Anglican position was not supportive of legislative change to make abortion more readily available. Following an initial investigation, the Sydney diocese recommended actions at church, diocesan and State levels calling primarily for better education and support for those considering abortion. While the diocese was not unanimous in its voice on the matter, it found a significant ally in the Roman Catholic Church, with whom it campaigned over the next decade despite a number of other tensions. In 1971, while a court case provided greater security for those seeking abortions, it was still a controversial topic. It surfaced at elections and during significant parliamentary debates as politicians were called on to clarify their personal opinions regarding the matter. The Church aimed to be non-partisan, but spoke independently and with groups such as the Festival of Light, calling for restraint and moral conduct. Archbishop Marcus Loane and Dean of the Cathedral Lance Shilton were prominent Anglican voices throughout this period. While increased support and education were provided over the decade, the results were not always as the Church would have wished.

(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.

  • Rev. Howard and His Bishop the Friendship of Stanley Howard and Frederic Barker, 1872–18821
    Rev. Howard and his bishop The friendship of Stanley Howard and Frederic Barker, 1872–18821 Nick Colyer On December 1, 1879, the clergy of the Sydney Diocese of the Church of England presented Frederic Barker with an address to mark the 25th anniversary of his consecration as Bishop: We, the undersigned Clergy of Your Lordship’s Diocese, desire, upon this the 25th Anniversary of your Consecration to the high office which you hold, to give expression to those sentiments of warm attachment and affectionate regard which we entertain towards you; and to record our deep 2 thankfulness to the Great Head of the Church for having preserved you so long to preside over us. The address lauded Barker’s achievements. It acknowledged that he had established the Church Society, created new dioceses, increased the number of clergy and congregations and introduced synodical government, and it concluded with the prayer that God would continue to prosper his labours. At the end of five pages of illuminated script stood the signature of William M. Cowper, the Bishop’s right-hand-man, Dean of the Cathedral and Archdeacon of Sydney. The signatures of 82 clergy followed. The 81st belonged to Stanley Howard. While Bishop Barker’s name has long held a revered place in the memory of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, Rev. Stanley Howard has long been forgotten.3 Howard arrived in Sydney in 1872, sent from England to spend time in a drier climate after being diagnosed with tuberculosis. As a 22 year-old, he had initially imagined a short time of recuperation before returning home, but he ended up spending over 10 of his remaining 11 years in New South 1 Missing from the library at Moore College is the cassette of an address by Kenneth Cable (the First Moore College Library Lecture), entitled Bishop Barker and His Clergy.

  • Bruce Leslie Smith (19322001)
    March 6 , 2001 Obituary Bruce Leslie Smith (1932-2001) by Peter Jensen We have lost an extraordinary man. The death of Bruce Smith on Saturday March 3rd from leukaemia takes from us one whose ministry of 45 years was conducted with passion for the things of God, eloquence of the highest order, a broad erudition and a deep humanity. Perhaps the highest tribute we could give him would be to say that he was one of the handful of people whose students regularly found him to be a great and inspiring teacher. Bruce was born in 1932, and grew up in the Eastern Suburbs. He attended Sydney Grammar School and was part of the fellowship of St Michael©s Church Vaucluse. He entered Moore College in 1952, eventually graduating Th.L, Th.Schol, Moore College Diploma, and BD. He was ordained in 1956 and served curacies in Chatswood, Willoughby and Beecroft. Even more significantly, he was one of that group of talented young men who were recruited for theological education by the then Principal Marcus Loane and others, and who formed the basis of the Faculty in the later decades of the century. Apart from a time in England (1963-1966), he taught at the College full time and part time from 1955 until his death. In 1999 he was made a Visiting Fellow of the College in recognition of his services and as a way of inviting his frequent - and cherished - presence. He was equally valued at Sydney Missionary and Bible College where he was likewise a visiting lecturer from 1993.

  • 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.
