Ian Williamson from Red Cross says “Australia is one of the most charitable nations in the world, with almost three in four of us supporting a charity at some time during our lifetime. “We hold morning teas, shave our heads, run marathons, dress in red, shake tins, bake cakes, hike thousands of kilometres and jump out of planes, all in the name of our favourite charities. “When it comes to remembering these charities in our Wills, however most of us don’t do it; in fact only 7% of Australians leave a charitable gift in their Will. “Gifts in Wills are worth almost $500 million a year to charities. “A final gift in your Will to Red Cross” says Mr Williamson, “will help ensure Red Cross is still around for generations to come to meet the needs of the most vulnerable people in our local communities. “With more than 100 million volunteers worldwide and 60,000 members and volunteers in Australia Red Cross reaches people and places like nobody else.

  • Anzac Rituals – Secular, Sacred, Christian
    Anzac Rituals – Secular, Sacred, Christian Department of History School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney Darren Mitchell A thesis submitted in 2020 to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Signature: ------------------------------ Name: Darren Mitchell i Abstract This thesis will argue that Australia’s Anzac ceremonial forms emerged from Christian thinking and liturgy. Existing accounts of Anzac Day have focussed on the secular and Western classical forms incorporated into Anzac ritual and ignored or minimised the significant connection between Christianity and Anzac Day. Early Anzac ceremonies conducted during the Great War were based on Anglican forms, and distinctive commemorative components such as laying wreaths at memorials and pausing in silence, as well as the unique Australian ‘dawn service’ tradition which began ten years after war’s end, have their antecedents in religious customs and civic rites of the time. Anglican clergy played the leading role in developing this Anzac legacy - belief in Australia in the 1910s and 1920s remained predominantly Christian, with approximately half of believers being Anglican adherents - yet this influence on Anzac ritual has heretofore received scant acknowledgement in academic and popular commentary which views Anzac Day’s rituals as ‘secular’, devoid of religious tradition and in competition with it.
