  • 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.

  • Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012
    CHAPTER 15 Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012 hile the health of the gatherings new and old was the central concern of the pastors led by Paul Harrington, these years saw many other efforts at developing the effectiveness of Holy Trinity’s ministry, both to its existing members and to those Wwho might join once they had heard and been convinced by the teaching on offer. This chapter examines some of those other endeavours over the decade or more since 2000. ***** Setting up and caring for the early years of the Hills congregation while maintaining a clear view of opportunities on North Terrace saw Harrington and his team maintain a fairly steady course through 2000–2001. The procedure of promoting the subsequent year’s budget by publishing a ‘Vision for Ministry’ in the spring was now well established. It permitted Harrington to promote his intentions and get responses to the draft budget from the congregation. The wardens then adjusted their plans accordingly. It made the subsequent annual vestry meetings less fraught, and meant the costs incurred before the Vestry meeting were more predictable. One immediate change saw Andrew Cole joined the team to replace Jeff Parkin, now titled site manager Cole would work with a revivified site management team that lifted the security and general health of the North Terrace buildings. A major pastoral initiative was launched by Lyn Sarah, drawing on her social work experience as well as her developing theological studies. She introduced what she called the ‘PEACE Pastoral Care’ model. Her goal was to develop a growing number of members of the congregation who were trained in a more intentional approach to pastoral care, while not ever pretending to be professional counselors.

This year Ash Wednesday cannot but fit this pattern- they are plain and functional with help to remind us of the tragic Victorian bushfires minimal decoration and generally devoid of religious and the thousands of people who have been so deeply symbolism.

We no longer have services in such places, communities, Kinglake and Marysville that have seen we have meetings and the buildings express that their churches destroyed and many of their parishioners understanding. rendered homeless. I have to confess that my experience over twenty years of ordained ministry has changed my thinking on the value of the building and made me question the ‘rain shelter’ view. God clearly has a sense of humour for if you had told me at the age of 16 that 40 years later I would be the rector of an Anglican parish with two heritage church buildings complete with stained glass, crosses, candles and liturgical colours I would have been incredulous. So how should we regard our church buildings? To me they function somewhat like the sacraments. They are visible reminders of a spiritual reality, namely the gathered Christian community. For those on the outside, the Church building bears witness to the fact that the people who meet there take God seriously.

No onsite services, no Sunday community, no parish groups meeting to provide cohesion. What might then be a barren time, especially at Easter, has turned out to be far from that. Fortunately, we have had particularly good locum priests since the parish fell vacant. Parishioners have received information almost daily during Eastertide, including meditations crafted by locum Bishop Jeffrey Driver and information about ‘We are attempting to get around the parish on the excellent online diocesan services. a weekly basis offering Holy Communion, prayer, The reserved sacrament for Easter written copies of readings, homilies, children’s bulletins – hopefully something for everyone.’ Day was distributed to about 20 people Anne Perryman, Wonthaggi who requested it and the church had its Good Friday and Easter Day livery set up. We may not see it, but God can. Pastoral care has been strengthened by five volunteers who coordinated a contact list of all parishioners, and the finances have been addressed by contacting parishioners about regular collections. We have never been busier or more involved in the life of our parish. It is a hard time but also an empowering time for us. Brian Norris cutting the simnel cake ‘Peter ran to the empty tomb’.

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.

  • Ecumenical Relations Commission Report to General Synod 2014
    ECUMENICAL RELATIONS COMMISSION The Commission met annually over the past three years. A major focus has been the re-establishment of the Anglican-Lutheran Dialogue and the Anglican-UCA Dialogue. Commission members continued to engage with the National Council of Churches and its various commissions. GSERC membership: Archbishop Jeffrey Driver (Convenor), Archbishop Glenn Davies, Bishop Tim Harris, Bishop John Parkes, Bishop Doug Stephens, Rev’d Jane Lee Baker, Rev'd Erica Mathieson and Ms Alison Preston. Anglican-Roman Catholic Dialogue While both our traditions are challenged by structural, theological and ethical issues, the trust and fellowship experienced within AUSTARC has allowed dialogue members to share both pain and hope. Meetings are always timetabled to allow dialogue members to grow closer personally. The Eucharistic president is alternatively Anglican and Roman Catholic. It is here that the reality and pain of separation becomes apparent; as all share in prayer, but only half those present receive the sacrament. The primary activity for the past two years has been to examine the theme of holiness in the Australian context, inspired by the canonisation of St Mary of the Cross (McKillop). During the latter part of 2012 and through 2013, papers have been presented and discussed. During 2014 a booklet will be finalised on this theme and offered to our respective churches. The booklet will have four chapters, each followed by two outbreaks (examples of holy lives) and three questions. The proposed chapter headings are: Holiness in an Australian context, Biblical basis for holiness, Systematic theology of Holiness, Practical theology of Holiness. In addition to this major work, it was decided that the work of AUSTARC must be better disseminated and promoted.

  • The Emmaus Journey of Ecumenism
    SA COUNCIL OF CHURCHES ANNUAL ECUMENICAL LECTURE 2010 The Most Reverend Dr Jeffrey Driver, Anglican Archbishop of Adelaide The Emmaus Journey of Ecumenism There might be those who think the form of their church descended from heaven fully formed, like the New Jerusalem of John the divine’s vision, but greater modesty recognises that the form of God’s church on earth is also shaped by history and culture.1 This means that while the essence of the Church should never change, its very nature is that its historical expression is always subject to change. Hans Kung wrote: Every age has its own image of the Church, arising out of a particular historical situation; in every age a particular view of the Church is expressed by the Church in practice, and given conceptual form post hoc or ante hoc, by the theologians of the age.2 The ecclesiology of Anglicanism, for instance, is clearly shaped by the renewal of nationalism in Europe in the 16th century and by the Elizabethan emphasis on national unity in the 17th century. From this, at least in part, modern Anglicanism has inherited its emphasis on the autonomy of national churches, as well as its commitment to a comprehensiveness that embraces wide diversity. Those traits of Anglicanism have enabled it to spread and adapt well to local custom and culture. Our strengths, however, are often at the same time our weaknesses. The world wide Anglican Communion now has 44 autonomous provinces and central instruments that have almost no decisive or coercive power.3 This means that Anglicanism will always have the risk that its embrace of diversity will lead it into messy conflict and division, as has been evident in recent times.
