Sadly I heard it correctly the first time. I was told by senior clergy that a western NSW parish was more than likely going to be serviced by another parish 30 minutes away. Although this is a common occurrence throughout rural Australia, for this parish it was the first time and it was due to one reason – the drought! I have known of this parish for many years and it has always been viable. To my knowledge the number of people attending is still good and they have always been generous. The issue is that virtually all of the parish members rely on farming. The longevity of this drought means for many in this parish, it will be another year without a crop and without income; income from So devastating is which they tithe. this drought that So devastating is this drought that once viable parishes are even once viable now struggling. parishes are now The prophet Isaiah using the very familiar language of struggling drought speaks of the grace of the Lord that will be poured out. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. Isaiah 44:3 Isaiah spoke of the hope we now know as Jesus. For over 100 years BCA has shared that message in what has always been a dry and dusty land but it is even more so now with this current drought. Would you please prayerfully consider giving generously to our Christmas Appeal today to ensure that we can continue to spread the good news of Jesus to a physical and spiritually thirsty land. Thank you for your prayers and your generosity.

He visits Turner River Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre (near Port Hedland) to hold a Bible study with residents and is encouraged by their genuine interest and engagement with the scriptures. “The residents are in a place where they recognise they need help. So many people never get to that point.

  • History of Archbishops Apologies
    Past apologies and statements Archbishops’ apologies Archbishop Glenn Davies “I totally support the stand that our Diocese and leaders have taken in stating our total abhorrence of sexual misconduct and any abuse of children. I am committed to strengthening our culture of ‘safe ministry’ through education and professional development of our clergy and lay people, as we seek to maintain the standards of Christian ministry which are grounded in the teaching of the Bible.” Archbishop Peter Jensen “Our reputation cannot be restored by acting as though certain events never occurred. We are going to have to learn once more what it is to live by grace and thus to show repentance as a community. Indeed, there is a deep connection between the Mission and our response to this problem. The Diocese as a whole has a good reputation for care with integrity in churches, schools, welfare work, retirement villages. But shameful cases of abuse of trust do exist, and, as we look back at our history we see that we have not always handled matters well. I do not claim to have responded adequately in all cases either, but I am seeking to be fair, to redress wrongs and to prevent recurrences. Ministry is a character business; lose your character and, effectively, you lose your ministry. Of course there is grace and forgiveness for those who have erred; but part of the very business of coming to grips with what we have done is the recognition by our erring pastors or lay leaders that various forms of ministry are no longer an option.

(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.

  • Peter Jensen
    Introduction Peter Jensen The Doctrine Commission of the Anglican Church of Australia has been examining the theological issues surrounding sexual and other forms of abuse since 2005. We decided that the best way to assist the church in thinking through these issues was to produce a preliminary report which highlighted the key issues, and then to author a collection of essays which could examine particular theological themes in more detail. Our preliminary report forms part of this introduction, followed by a series of essays written by members of the Doctrine Commission. The report has the assent of us all. The individual essays reflect only the view of their respective authors. The past twenty years has seen an increased awareness of the dangers of sexual abuse not only in our society but sadly also within the church. While the Bible is not silent on the issue, a recognition of the horrors of sexual abuse, and its prevalence, has given fresh impetus to a theological reflection upon the causes and consequences of this evil. These essays are presented to the wider church as a contribution to that ongoing reflection, a painful reminder of the sinfulness of sin and the recognition that we are much in need of God's grace and forgiveness. The first essay, by Muriel Porter, seeks to highlight areas in which our pastoral practice may be exacerbating the damage already done by sexual abuse. Victims of sexual abuse often carry a deep sense of unworthiness, guilt and shame, which, Porter argues, can be made worse by (male) clergy preaching against the ‘masculine’ sin of pride.

An ecclesiological enquiry into metropolitical authority and provincial polity in the Anglican Communion. Abstract For at least the past two decades, international Anglicanism has been gripped by a crisis of identity: what is to be the dynamic between autonomy and interdependence? Where is authority to be located? How might the local relate to the international? How are the variously diverse national churches to be held together ‘in communion’? These questions have prompted an explosion of interest in Anglican ecclesiology within both the church and academy, with particular emphasis exploring the nature of episcopacy, synodical government, liturgy and belief, and common principles of canon law.
