Remembering Bishop Peter Woodley Mann 1976-1990 Bishop Peter Mann served the Diocese of Dunedin for 14 years, and his name lives on at Peter Mann House (the Diocesan Centre) in Green Island. We have had some additional memories shared by people who knew and loved +Peter and links to previous articles in this series... Peter Woodley Mann CBE[1] (25 July 1924 in Perth, Western Australia – 24 August 1999 in Dunedin)[2] was the sixth Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Dunedin in Dunedin, New Zealand. Mann was educated at Prince Alfred College, Adelaide and St John's College, Auckland before being ordained in 1954. He held curacies at Waiapu and Rotorua before holding incumbencies at Porangahau and Dannevirke. Later he was Archdeacon of Blenheim, Marlborough and Timaru before his ordination to the episcopate). Rev'd Barbara Dineen has the following memories of Bishop Mann: "I have the warmest memories of Plus Peter, as he was known! He served in the Australian navy during World War II and he had a vast storehouse of amusing anecdotes, with which he frequently began his sermons. His memory for names was impressive, and all ladies were always greeted with a 'Hello, dear' and a kiss. He truly was a people person. He engaged with the city, to the point of living the gospel very visibly: he, and several of his senior clergy, marched with us against the Springbok Tour in 1981. Peter Mann was truly a man of God.

The purpose of the booklet is not only to provide you with details on how donations are being used, but to offer some ideas on how to target your support to a project that you feel particularly passionate or strongly about. We hope this will in turn help to make missions-giving for you even more meaningful. Each project has been developed in partnership with those who will directly benefit. Selecting and then funding projects to be supported is decided annually by the Anglican Missions Board in line with our projected budget. Each project aligns with one or more of the ‘5 Marks of Mission’ which encourages all churches to: • Evangelise (proclaim the good news of the Kingdom); • Nurture (teach, baptise and nurture the Christian faith); • Serve (respond to human needs by loving service); • Preserve (preserve the integrity of creation for future generations); and • Transform (transform unjust structures of society, challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation).

  • 1991 Lecture
    THE TWENTY-SEVENTH JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE 1991 LOVING THE DISTANCES BETWEEN: RACISM, CULTURE AND SPIRITUALITY David James and Jillian Wychel The James Backhouse Lectures This is one of a series of lectures instituted by Australia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends on the occasion of the establishment of that Yearly Meeting in 1964. This lecture was delivered in Perth on 5 January 1991 during the Yearly Meeting. James Backhouse was an English Friend who visited Australia from 1832 to 1838. He and his companion, George Washington Walker, travelled widely but spent most of their time in Tasmania. It was through their visit that Quaker Meetings were first established in Australia. The two men had access to individual people with authority in the young colonies, and with influence in the British Parliament and social reform movement. In painstaking reports and personal letters to such people, they made practical suggestions and urged legislative action on penal reform, on land rights and the treatment of Aborigines, and on the rum trade. James Backhouse was a botanist and naturalist. He made careful observations and published full accounts of what he saw, in addition to encouraging Friends and following the deep concern for the convicts and the Aborigines that had brought him to Australia. Australian Friends hope that this series of lectures will bring fresh insights into truth, often with reference to the needs and aspirations of Australian Quakerism. Joan Courtney Presiding Clerk Australia Yearly Meeting Copyright 1991 by The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Australia Incorporated ISBN 0 909885 32 X Produced by Margaret Fell Quaker Booksellers and Publishers ABOUT THIS LECTURE Cultural discrimination by one people against another whose culture they despise is an age-old phenomenon; but racism against indigenous peoples (or First Nations) is more recent, a product of empire and exploitation which arose only a generation or two before Quakerism.

  • 1 Homosexuality & the Contemporary Anglican Communion: the Windsor
    Homosexuality & the Contemporary Anglican Communion: The Windsor Report © Charleston C. K. Wang I. Mandate and Scope The Windsor Report of the Lambeth Commission on Communion was issued under the auspices of the Most Reverend Dr. Robin Eames, Archbishop of Armagh and Commission Chair in October 2004. In response to the mandate given by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Windsor touches upon the “legal and theological implications flowing from the decisions of the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA) to appoint a priest in a committed same sex relationship as one of its bishops, and of the Diocese of New Westminster [of the Anglican Church of Canada] to authorize services for use in connection with same sex unions.”1 Of even greater importance, perhaps, Windsor addresses “specifically … the canonical understandings of communion, impaired and broken communion, and the ways in which provinces of the Anglican Communion2 may relate to one another in situations where the ecclesiastical authorities of one province feel unable to maintain the fullness of communion with another part of the Anglican Communion.”3 Windsor is intended to be viewed as recommendations to the Primates 1 Windsor Report of the Lambeth Commission on Communion, The Anglican Communion Office, London, UK (October 2004) at p8.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. TE WAIRUA KŌMINGOMINGO O TE MĀORI THE SPIRITUAL WHIRLWIND OF THE MĀORI A thesis presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Māori Studies Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Te Waaka Melbourne 2011 Abstract This thesis examines Māori spirituality reflected in the customary words Te Wairua Kōmingomingo o te Maori. Within these words Te Wairua Kōmingomingo o te Māori; the past and present creates the dialogue sources of Māori understandings of its spirituality formed as it were to the intellect of Māori land, language, and the universe. This is especially exemplified within the confinements of the marae, a place to create new ongoing spiritual synergies and evolving dialogues for Māori. The marae is the basis for meaningful cultural epistemological tikanga Māori customs and traditions which is revered. Marae throughout Aotearoa is of course the preservation of the cultural and intellectual rights of what Māori hold as mana (prestige), tapu (sacred), ihi (essence) and wehi (respect) – their tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty). This thesis therefore argues that while Christianity has taken a strong hold on Māori spirituality in the circumstances we find ourselves, never-the-less, the customary, and traditional sources of the marae continue to breath life into Māori. This thesis also points to the arrival of the Church Missionary Society which impacted greatly on Māori society and accelerated the advancement of colonisation.

  • Women Bishops in the Anglican Communion
    Women bishops in the Anglican Communion Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 It is 30 years since the first woman was appointed a bishop in the Anglican Communion. How have they fared since? The Anglican Communion is the third-largest grouping of Christians in the world with about 85 million members. It is made up of 40 autonomous provinces, twelve of which have consecrated women as bishops. Several others have made provision for women to become bishops but have yet to elect or appoint any. The question of whether it is permissible for women to enter holy orders as deacons, priests and bishops has been fiercely contested within the Anglican Communion’s recent history. Deacons are the initial order of clergy, able to officiate at marriages and funerals but not to preside at Holy Communion. In churches that ordain women as priests the diaconate (office of deacon) is usually a stepping stone to priesthood. The role of a bishop is to be a “shepherd,” an authoritative teacher with pastoral oversight over a diocese. Most Anglican provinces choose their bishops by election. Because the Church of England is established in law, bishops are appointed by the Crown after consultation within the Church. The first woman to become a bishop in the Anglican Communion was Barbara Harris who was consecrated the suffragan Bishop of Massachusetts in the Episcopal Church in America in February 1989. A suffragan bishop serves as an assistant to a diocesan bishop. The Episcopal Church in America was also the first Anglican church to elect a woman, Katharine Jefferts Schori, as its presiding bishop (or primate) in 2006.
