  • 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.

  • Media Statement 16 March 2017 Statement from Bishop Peter Stuart
    Media Statement 16 March 2017 Statement from Bishop Peter Stuart On behalf of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle I express our considerable sadness at the news that Greg Thompson won't be returning to ministry as the Anglican Bishop of Newcastle. In his short time as our Bishop he has been the catalyst for deep cultural change around the protection of children and the support of victims of abuse. He called us to face our past and in doing so shape a healthy future. This will be his enduring legacy. As part of shaping a healthy future, we worked together in November to initiate independent external reviews of diocesan governance and the professional standards and redress processes. These reviews are well underway and will continue the crucial work of transforming the Diocese. Bishop Greg has led the Diocese to greater health. In 2013, the Diocesan family rejoiced that a ‘son of the diocese’ had been elected as the Diocesan Bishop. The clergy and people have delighted in his ministry in parishes, at the diocesan convention and synod. We have felt deep anguish for him and his family as we learnt of the abuse he experienced and the rejection by some in the Diocese. Throughout his ministry he has been committed to hearing the voices at the grassroots and empowering the vulnerable and people in need. Drawing on the great treasures in the teachings of Jesus, he has been unafraid of speaking strongly to the powerful to ensure transparency and promote justice. We are deeply thankful for Bishop Greg Thompson’s ministry as Anglican Bishop of Newcastle.

  • 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.

    A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS: Listening to the Statement from the Heart Author: Celia Kemp, Reconciliation Coordinator | Artist: The Reverend Glenn Loughrey Foreword Listening is an important, if not dying, art form. Being able to hear the First published November 2018 Second printing with minor updates, June 2019 voice of the other is deeply challenging. It seems to me, at least, that many ISBN: 978-0-6483444-0-7 Australians wish to hear the voice of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. They truly want to hear what is on our hearts. Yet, at the same Free pdf version, Leader’s Guide or time there are some whose hearts have turned cold, and do not wish to to order hard copies: www.abmission.org/voice listen to anything but their own voices. ‘The Statement from the Heart’ is an important voice for the aspirations and hopes of the First Nations peoples of our land. It deserves to be heard by ABM is a non-profit organisation. many, and for those who have stopped their ears it could become a chance for ‘hearts of stone to be turned into hearts of flesh.’ (Ezekiel 36: 26). This Study has been made possible by donors who support ABM’s ‘Voice in the wilderness: Listening to the Statement of the Heart’ is the creation of loving listening by Celia Kemp; encouraging the Church to stop Reconciliation work. We especially and listen. This study also gifts us with the opportunity to ‘listen’ to the art acknowledge the generous support of Glenn Loughrey, a Wiradjuri man and Anglican Priest; the penetrating of the Society of the Sacred Mission voice of sight, colour and image.

  • Statement from the Bishop of Newcastle
    STATEMENT BY THE ANGLICAN BISHOP OF NEWCASTLE THE RIGHT REVEREND DR PETER STUART BISHOP RICHARD APPLEBY 3 December 2019 Summary • Bishop Peter Stuart accepted finding that Bishop Appleby not fit to be employed by any church body without conditions • Bishop Appleby cannot engage in any ministry as a bishop nor present himself as a bishop in the Diocese of Newcastle for 3 years • Bishop Appleby must satisfy the Director of Professional Standards about his knowledge of and commitment to reporting disclosures of child sexual abuse before being able to exercise ministry as a bishop. • This decision is being communicated to all Diocesan Bishops in Australia and all clergy in the Diocese of Newcastle Detailed Statement Bishop Richard Appleby was the Auxiliary Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle from 1983 until 1992 serving Bishop Alfred Holland. Bishop Appleby went on to serve as the Bishop of the Northern Territory from 1992 until 1999 when he became an Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Brisbane until 2006. He administered the Diocese of Brisbane in 2001. During the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse a witness known as CKA spoke of the serious sexual abuse perpetrated against him, when he was aged between 10 and 14 years, old by the Reverend George Parker (deceased) in the years 1971 - 1975. CKA’s account is harrowing both because of the abuse itself and the subsequent response of officials of the Diocese to CKA and his family. CKA gave evidence to the Royal Commission that he disclosed the sexual abuse by George Parker to Bishop Appleby in 1984.
