Anglican News March 2009 Anglican News Vol 26Page 1 No 2 Anglican News March 2009 The Newspaper of the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn 3700 copies every month FREE Warm welcome for our new bishop by Lewis Hitchick A congregation estimated at between 1400 and 1500 gathered at Goulburn’s St Saviour’s Ca- thedral on Saturday January 31 to celebrate the consecration of Bishop Stuart Robinson as the tenth Bishop of the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn. It was the first consecration held in the cathedral in 117 years, and the first time a bishop has been consecrated and installed in St Saviours in the one service. The Archbishop of Sydney and Metropolitan of NSW, Peter Jensen, conducted the consecra- tion in a three-hour service dur- ing which the temperature rose steadily, passing 38 degrees by the time the congregation emerged from the building. A marquee on the cathedral lawns provided shade but little reprieve from the heat for an overflow of several hundred un- able to fit into the church. As well as representatives from the length and breadth of Canberra-Goulburn diocese, the congregation included hundreds of the new bishop’s friends and associates from Sydney and many other dioceses in the Aus- tralian church.

  • The Enneagram and Its Implications
    Organizational Perspectives on Stained Glass Ceilings for Female Bishops in the Anglican Communion: A Case Study of the Church of England Judy Rois University of Toronto and the Anglican Foundation of Canada Daphne Rixon Saint Mary’s University Alex Faseruk Memorial University of Newfoundland The purpose of this study is to document how glass ceilings, known in an ecclesiastical setting as stained glass ceilings, are being encountered by female clergy within the Anglican Communion. The study applies the stained glass ceiling approach developed by Cotter et al. (2001) to examine the organizational structures and ordination practices in not only the Anglican Communion but various other Christian denominations. The study provides an in depth examination of the history of female ordination within the Church of England through the application of managerial paradigms as the focal point of this research. INTRODUCTION In the article, “Women Bishops: Enough Waiting,” from the October 19, 2012 edition of Church Times, the Most Rev. Dr. Rowan Williams, then Archbishop of Canterbury, urged the Church of England in its upcoming General Synod scheduled for November 2012 to support legislation that would allow the English Church to ordain women as bishops (Williams, 2012). Williams had been concerned about the Church of England’s inability to pass resolutions that would allow these ordinations. As the spiritual head of the Anglican Communion of approximately 77 million people worldwide, Williams had witnessed the ordination of women to the sacred offices of bishop, priest and deacon in many parts of the communion. Ordinations allowed women in the church to overcome glass ceilings in certain ministries, but also led to controversy and divisiveness in other parts of the church, although the Anglican Communion has expended significant resources in both monetary terms and opportunity costs to deal with the ordination of women to sacred offices, specifically as female bishops.

(University of NSW) B.D. (University of Sydney) Grad. Dip. Min. (Melbourne College of Divinity) School of Arts Faculty of Arts Griffith University A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2007 ABSTRACT The Anglican Church of Australia agreed to a national constitution in 1962. Yet at a national level it is hardly a cohesive body with a sense of unity and common purpose. Historically, Australian Anglicanism developed along regional lines, with the result that diocesan separateness rather than national unity became enshrined as a foundational principle of Anglicanism in Australia. This study questions this fundamental premise of the Anglican tradition in Australia. It argues (1) that it is not a true reflection of the Anglican ethos, both in its English origins and worldwide, and (2) that it prevents Anglicanism in Australia from embracing its national vocation. An alternative tradition has been present, in fact, within Australian Anglicanism from the beginning, although it has not been considered to be part of the mainstream. Bishop Broughton, the first Anglican bishop in Australia, was deeply sensitive to the colonial context in which the Anglican tradition was being planted, and he adapted it accordingly.

These reassuring words from Bishop Stuart Robinson provided the backdrop for a dialogue at the annual Diocesan Synod on what he described as one of the “most diffi cult” decisions facing the nation. Synod, the ‘parliament’ of the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn, met in Goulburn last weekend (Friday 11 - Sunday 13 September). Rather than an actual debate, which had the potential to be divisive, Synod members engaged with the question of same-sex marriage in a way which Bishop BALANCE: Bishop Stuart (centre) told Synod the Diocese of Canberra Robinson described as “a space where we may consider the issue ‘Christianly’ and Goulburn “is known as a place where the passion for both Gospel and thereby be a community of convictions and justice for those experiencing discrimination run very deep”. reconciliation”.
