What stifles your prayer life? What energises your prayers? For us, we’re very aware that there are real decisions to be made, often urgently, about matters that matter, with real consequences – for us personally and for those we serve. That awareness can shift our focus away from prayerful dependence on God, towards self-managing the various angles of the issues. The pace of life, the endless number of decisions to be made and the struggle to discern the urgent from the important crowds out the priority of prayer. And let’s be honest, we simply aren’t habitually cultivating the discipline of prayer. In all of this it’s not that we don’t pray. It’s just that it slips into the background. Rather than being the air we breathe every moment of life, prayer becomes the oxygen mask reserved for emergencies.

  • Anglicans and Abortion: Sydney in the Seventies
    COLVILLE: Anglicans and Abortion: Sydney in the Seventies Anglicans and Abortion: Sydney in the Seventies Murray Colville SYNOPSIS This paper considers the public voice of the Anglican Church in Sydney as it discussed and took part in debates concerning the issue of medical abortion during the 1970s. Just prior to this decade, UK law changes and church discussions were bringing this issue on to the table. Contrary to many other voices, the Sydney Anglican position was not supportive of legislative change to make abortion more readily available. Following an initial investigation, the Sydney diocese recommended actions at church, diocesan and State levels calling primarily for better education and support for those considering abortion. While the diocese was not unanimous in its voice on the matter, it found a significant ally in the Roman Catholic Church, with whom it campaigned over the next decade despite a number of other tensions. In 1971, while a court case provided greater security for those seeking abortions, it was still a controversial topic. It surfaced at elections and during significant parliamentary debates as politicians were called on to clarify their personal opinions regarding the matter. The Church aimed to be non-partisan, but spoke independently and with groups such as the Festival of Light, calling for restraint and moral conduct. Archbishop Marcus Loane and Dean of the Cathedral Lance Shilton were prominent Anglican voices throughout this period. While increased support and education were provided over the decade, the results were not always as the Church would have wished. Page | 87 COLVILLE: Anglicans and Abortion: Sydney in the Seventies As the seventies drew to a close, the voice of the Anglican Church is here briefly assessed.

  • Synod 2021: Presidential Address (Peter Hayward)
    Presidential Address First Session of the 52nd Synod of the Diocese of Sydney The Right Reverend Peter Hayward 3rd May 2021 Members of Synod welcome to the first ordinary session of the 52nd Synod of the Diocese of Sydney. When the 51st ordinary session concluded in October 2019, the Pandemic and the circumstances that have occurred over the last 19 months were not even remotely contemplated. Yet, in God's providence, we now meet for a one-day session of Synod. Immediately following this session will be a special session of the 52nd Synod to elect a new Archbishop. His kindness has given us the opportunity to keep going in the good to which he calls us. As we gather in the presence of God, I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land upon which we meet. In his wisdom and love, our heavenly Father gave this estate to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. Upon this land they met for generations until the coming of British settlers. As we continue to learn to live together on these ancestral lands, we acknowledge and pay our respects to their elders, past and present, and pray that God will unite us all in the knowledge of his Son, in whom all things were created, in heaven and on earth, whether visible or invisible—for all things have been created through him and for him. Aboriginal Ministry The existence of the City of Sydney and its foundation and growth is all a consequence of what occurred from the beginning of white settlement when Aboriginal people were dispossessed of their land.
