As Spurgeon said, ‘More flies are caught with honey than with vinegar.’ – Bob Thomas NEW LIFE – 15 July 2016 – Page Two MATTERS FOR PRAYER: RUSSIA: Anti-Mission Measures Signed Into Law On Thursday 7 July Russia's President Vladimir Putin signed into law a controversial 'anti-terror' package which includes anti‐mission measures that eviscerate religious freedom. In signing the Yarovaya Law, President Putin has defied the advice of business leaders, church leaders, human rights advocates and even his own presi‐ dential advisors. It is a difficult decision to understand and disappointing beyond measure. We must never underestimate the impact that geopolitics has on religious freedom. The Russian government is not inherently anti‐Christian. However, the denominations which will be impacted most seriously by the new legislation are non‐Russian Orthodox denominations, in particular Protestants, who in times of extreme East‐West geopolitical tensions can be unfairly viewed with suspicion. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists: 'If the law produces any undesired outcomes, the gov‐ ernment will introduce measures accordingly by presidential decree.' While this is a day for mourning, it is also a day for renewed prayer for the whole Russian Church. May the eternal truth that our God is a Redeeming God continue to inspire our prayers. May Christ, who is building His Church and shepherding His flock, sanctify the Russian Church. May Russia's denominations stand together as one – united across denominational lines – not only in defence of religious freedom, but in declaring the value of the wisdom of God and the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For the sake of the nation and the glory of God. ‘AFTER SATURDAY COMES SUNDAY’ PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL: A new and timely book After Saturday Comes Sunday: Understanding • fill Russia's Christian leaders with 'the The Christian Crisis In The Middle East, is now available from the pub- knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom lisher, Wipf and Stock (Eugene, OR, USA) [http://wipfandstock.com/ and understanding, so [they will] walk in a after-saturday-comes-sunday.html], as well as through major distrib- manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to utors including Morning Star Publishing (Australia), [http://morn- Him, bearing fruit in every good work and in‐ ingstarpublishing.net.au/product/after-saturday-comes-sunday/] creasing in the knowledge of God.

  • The Institution, the Ethic, and the Affect: the Hillsong Church and The
    The Institution, the Ethic, and the Affect: The Hillsong Church and the Production of Multiple Affinities of the Self Submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Bachelor of Arts & Commerce, with Honours in Sociology College of Arts & Social Sciences, Australian National University Matthew Wade 2010 1 Unless otherwise acknowledged in the text, this thesis represents the original research of the author: Signed:………………………… Matthew Wade 2 Acknowledgments I would like to express the greatest of thanks to my Honours supervisor, Dr Maria Hynes. Dr Hynes’ relentless positivity, gentle encouragement, and of course brilliant insight were absolutely invaluable. Warm thanks also go to Dr Rachel Bloul and Dr Joanna Sikora for their guidance, as well as my fellow classmates. Lastly, I give guarded thanks to the Hillsong Church, an institution that at once is endlessly fascinating, inspiring, and unnerving. 3 Abstract The Hillsong Church, based in Sydney, is the Australian exemplar of the ‘megachurch’ phenomena, characterised by large, generally non- denominational churches with evangelical, ‘seeker-friendly’ aspirations and adoption of contemporary worship methods. Given the increasingly large following the Church commands, there is surprisingly little scholarly research on Hillsong, particularly from the perspective of Sociology. This study seeks to contribute to a sociological understanding of the phenomenon of Hillsong by analysing the particular ways that its doctrine and practices evoke and respond to crises of the self in modernity. Hillsong does not rail against the developments associated with modernity, rather, the Church consciously evangelises in recognition of them, managing to both empower the individual and also act as a bulwark against more dehumanising elements of modern society.
