    To Know God and to Make Him Known 1980–1993

    CHAPTER 10 To Know God and to Make Him Known 1980–1993 eg Piper was thirty-eight when appointed to Trinity, where he was inducted on 16 January 1980. He grew up in the Wollongong district, took a BSc degree at the Australian National University and then studied at Moore College. Ordained in 1967, he served Ra formative curacy under Alan Begbie at Willoughby in suburban Sydney, another at Lalor Park, then was curate-in-charge at Hurstville Grove before becoming rector of Kiama for four years. Again, like his friend Paul Barnett, he and his wife Dorothy brought young children to the rectory at Prospect. Truth and love Piper’s concerns and those of many of the congregation matched closely. He brought with him a strong sense of the evangelical tradition, to which he was committed to expressing through a sustained preaching minis- try. Although he had a BD from the Melbourne College of Divinity and a ThSchol from the Australian College of Theology, Piper did not claim to be a scholar. He sought to achieve close and friendly rapport with his congregation, building on the foundations of mutual responsibility which Barnett had laid. At his first annual vestry (March 1980) he issued a clear manifesto: It is my desire that truth should reign in our congregation. It is my firm conviction that the Bible is God’s Word. We will aim to have all our preaching, our exhortations, our encourage- ments, our prayers, our discussions, our singing come under the authority of the Scripture. I care little for style or aesthetics or spontaneity or anything else if it is not found right by this measure.

    Aspects of Protestant Youth Ministry in Sydney 1930-1959

    1 From a ministry for youth to a ministry of youth _____________________________________________________________________________ Aspects of Protestant youth ministry in Sydney 1930-1959 Ruth Lukabyo A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Ancient History Centre for the History of Christian Thought and Experience Macquarie University February 2018 3 Abstract In this history of Protestant youth ministry in Sydney, the years 1930-1959 are shown to be a time when significant changes occurred in the way that ministry to youth was conducted. There was a new methodology, a change from a ministry for youth to a ministry of youth. The change came about because of the impact of war and depression, the development of secondary education, the resurgence of Conservative Evangelical theology, the creation of new institutions and the influence of key individuals. This new methodology had certain characteristics which can be seen in ministries in the university, schools and local parishes. It nurtured the leadership of young people and gave them agency. It formed peer groups where young people constructed a robust Christian identity and every member was encouraged to be active in fellowship and witness. It moved towards a co-educational model that fostered a partnership between young men and women. This thesis identifies two different streams of youth ministry, Conservative Evangelical and Liberal Evangelical. The streams used the same methodology, but had different ultimate goals. The Conservative goal was revival through evangelism, and the Liberal was the nurture of Christian character and the Christianisation of civilisation. After the war, the Conservative stream came to predominate.
  • Holy Trinity Adelaide’S Pioneer Church

    Holy Trinity Adelaide’S Pioneer Church

    Holy Trinity Adelaide’s Pioneer Church A BRIEF HISTORY by Brian Dickey HOLY TRINITY CHURCH – A brief history The Congregation Proposals to establish a colony on the southern shores of Australia gained attention in England in the early 1830s. The promoters were influenced by the theories of Edward Gibbon Wakefield, and so they aimed for a colony that would operate with a minimum of government interference. There would be prosperous new lives for the colonists and handsome returns for English investors. Religion, it was understood, was an important component in the creation of this new society in South Australia. Many Protestant Dissenters (or Nonconformists) hoped that religious arrangements in the colony would not be fettered by the chains of the established Church of England, as they believed to be the case in England. But there were, too, members of the Church of England eager to settle in or support the new colony. A South Australian Church Committee led by Raikes Currie and Pascoe St Leger Grenfell began soliciting for funds in 1834. They gained the support of the bishop of London and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG) and collected about £800. They were greatly aided by the decision of the government that there would be a Colonial Chaplain to provide formal religious services to the colonists. He was to be a member of the established church and would be paid £250 a year. After some difficulties in finding a suitable candidate, the Revd Charles Beaumont Howard was appointed. He was an Irishman who had studied at Trinity College Dublin and who was currently occupying a modest curacy in the diocese of Chester.
