  • Ministry Commission Report to General Synod 2007
    COMMISSION: MINISTRY MINISTRY COMMISSION The Ministry Commission in this triennium has overviewed ministry practice within the Anglican Church of Australia identifying urgent issues before this Church and responding to the three references made to the Commission by the last General Synod, the Standing Committee and the General Secretary. Membership of the Commission Bishop Brian Farran (Chair), Archbishop Jeffrey Driver, Bishop Rob Nolan, Canon Colleen O’Reilly, Archdeacon Peter Stuart, the Reverends Mark Charleston and Kevin Bourke, Dr. Grahame Feletti. References to the Commission 1. Model Statement for Clergy & Model Performance Review The 2004 General Synod requested the Ministry Commission to develop a model statement for clergy of the expectations and responsibilities of their roles and entitlements at the time of their appointment. The Commission developed such a document which the Standing Committee sent to Dioceses after its October 2006 meeting for the consideration of and response by the dioceses to the Ministry Commission. Only the Diocese of Bendigo has forwarded comments to the Ministry Commission upon this document. The document is too substantial to include in this report. The review of responses to the document will be on the agenda of the Ministry Commission. The second component of the General Synod 2004 reference was the request for the development of a model review of the performance of the clergy. The Commission developed guidelines for the review of clergy in ministry using the mnemonic review. Introduction Throughout the Australian Church there is increased interest in reviewing the effectiveness, appropriateness and direction of clergy ministry. The clergy themselves, bishops and church leaders want to see in what ways the ministry being exercised makes a difference.

  • Parish Life in the Anglican Diocese of Perth, Western Australia – the Bellevue – Darlington Story Michael Evers and Philip Biggs1
    CASE STUDY 10Parish Life in the Anglican Diocese of Perth, Western Australia – the Bellevue – Darlington Story Michael Evers and Philip Biggs1 The Perth Diocese1 The Diocese of Perth is one of three in the state of Western Australia and is the metropolitan see for the Anglican Church in Australia’s province of Western Australia. The present Arch- bishop, Dr Peter Carnley AO, is also Primate of the Anglican Church of Australia. The Diocese has 111 parishes divided, since the mid 1990s, into four regions each with an assistant bishop in charge. Three of the regions are in the metropolitan area of Perth, covering about 3000 square kilometres, in which over 90% of the population of Western Australia lives. The fourth region, the Goldfields Country Region, covers 300 000 square kilometres of wheat and sheep farming land and goldfields round Kalgoorlie where the regional bishop resides. As is true for much of Australia, the rural sector is in severe decline with reducing population and services. This decline has affected the church as well. At present in the region, six parishes of the 18 have full time stipended clergy. For the past six years the region, first under Bishop Brian Far- ran and now Bishop Gerald Beaumont, has been implementing a new policy called ‘Becom- ing Ministering Communities in Mission’, which seeks to provide ordained and lay ministry within the region in a new way. This policy is now also being adopted in city regions where the church has also been facing decline. Throughout the 1990s the Diocese participated in the Decade of Evangelism following the Lambeth meeting of Anglican Bishops from around the world in 1988.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction Both before, and particularly since the 13th General Synod, there have been significant efforts throughout the Church to put in place comprehensive policies both to respond to child abuse and sexual misconduct involving adults, and to minimise the risk of their occurrence. Notwithstanding this progress, on the eve of the 14th General Synod there are many human resource, financial and spiritual challenges facing the Church in fulfilling the commitment expressed in the Church’s Safe Ministry Policy Statement. This commitment of the Church is central to its mission. Without the fulfilment of this commitment the Church will not be able to carry out its mission with integrity. The community in general, and survivors of abuse in particular, are watching to see if this commitment is matched by effective action. We are aware that there are some who are suffering from “issue fatigue” and want to address “the “core aspects” of the Church’s mission. The commitment of the Church expressed in the Safe Ministry Policy Statement is a core aspect of its mission. We believe that that the greatest challenge is the one of maintaining the momentum.

  • Respecting the Dignity of Religious Organisations: When Is It Appropriate for Courts to Decide Religious Doctrine?”
    “RESPECTING THE DIGNITY OF RELIGIOUS ORGANISATIONS: WHEN IS IT APPROPRIATE FOR COURTS TO DECIDE RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE?” ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR NEIL FOSTER* The notion of “dignity” is usually associated with individuals. But in the religious sphere, individuals often join together as part of organisations, whether “churches” or other groups. Court decisions in disputes involving religious parties may involve the court being invited to decide what is a “valid” or “correct” religious doctrine. But is it consistent with the dignity that ought to be afforded to religious persons and groups for secular courts to take on a role as “amateur theologians”? There are good public policy reasons to suggest not, based on the lack of expertise of judicial officers, and religious freedom considerations supporting the authority and dignity of religious actors to decide the meaning of their own doctrines. However, in some cases, courts are required to determine religious questions for the purposes of enforcing a private law right, such as under a charitable trust for the advancement of religion, or an employment contract. Refusing to decide these issues in such cases may leave deserving parties without a valid remedy. This article reviews the approach to this issue taken by courts in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia, in order to determine whether these different decisions can be reconciled. It recommends that courts usually continue to respect the dignity of religious organisations by declining to determine the content of religious doctrine, but should be willing to do so where the private rights of parties arise under a religious regime initially accepted by the parties concerned.
