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”.

Thomas. The discussion of Anglican ecciesiology usually concentrates on particular periods of the Church of England's history. This thesis proceeds from the standpoint of the Anglican Communion. When Anglicans found themselves to be outside the bounds of the English establisliment, they were forced to make a response to their new social, political and religious environment. They did this by founding Churches upon the basis of voluntary compacts and organising them under constitutional synods.

  • ETERNAL VISION MARKS OUR 150TH BIRTHDAY Thu 14 March
    ETERNAL VISION MARKS OUR 150TH BIRTHDAY Thu 14 March 2013 St Saviours Cathedral was packed with clergy and parishioners from across the Diocese as well as citizens of Goulburn, countless politicians and other VIPs as the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn’s marked its 150th birthday. The date marked the 150th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s promulgation of the Anglican Diocese of Goulburn along with the City of Goulburn on March 14, 1863. Bishop Stuart Robinson preached on the importance of having an eternal vision, reflecting on the pioneering ministry of the Reverend Robert Cartwright and the Diocese’s first Bishop Mesac Thomas. “As Cartwright and Thomas… lived as ambassadors and citizens of that heavenly city – and in so doing loved, served, and blessed those with whom they toiled and struggled, may we - as conduits of God’s love and grace similarly serve and bless the people of this great community”, he said. “And may these 150th celebrations fuel our longing for that great and glorious eternal celebration; in God’s presence, with God’s people, through God’s Son. That’s the vision!” The Bible readings were delivered by the Governor of NSW, Professor Marie Bashir and the Mayor of Goulburn, Geoff Kettle. The church service was followed by a civic ceremony under a marquee in the Cathedral grounds. A highlight was the cutting of the city of Goulburn’s 150th birthday cake by Bailey Tiyce, a St Joseph’s student who turned 10 on the day (March 14), the New South Wales Governor Marie Bashir and Terry Newton, daughter of former mayor Thomas P.
