2Nd Session of the 48Th Synod
Proceedings of the 2009 Ordinary Session of the 48th Synod Second Ordinary Session of the 48th Synod of the Diocese of Sydney: October 2009 Summary of Proceedings The 2nd ordinary session of the 48th Synod was held on Monday 19, Tuesday 20, Wednesday 21, Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 October 2009 at the Wesley Theatre, 220 Pitt Street Sydney with afternoon and evening sittings on each of these 5 days. The Synod service was held at 8.15 pm. The service was led by the Rev Peter Hayward. The preacher was the Rev Paul Harrington from Holy Trinity, Adelaide. Presidential Address What with Global Warming, the War on Terror and the Global Financial Crisis, we may well think that we live in apocalyptic times. Extraordinary times provoke big questions. Threatening times give the questions a special edge. We want to understand the signs - the signs of our own era. What’s happening? Why? Where are we? What should we do? What’s the future? Who is responsible? What does it all mean? For many people in our world trouble is personal: some hostile person, using magic, has been able to harness the spiritual powers of the cosmos and they have bent them against us. For others, it is best to explain the times by appeal to such powers as fate or destiny. The fault does lie in the stars; the stars above us govern our conditions. For others there is no meaning at all; we are simply caught up in a vast, unthinking, impersonal universe which is churning through aeons of time, from a big bang to a big stretch, or perhaps a big collapse. -

Cycle of Prayer 13 August 2017 - 23 December 2017
Cycle of Prayer 13 August 2017 - 23 December 2017 Diocese of Chester Receive the daily Cycle of Prayer on: www.facebook.com/dioceseofchester www.twitter.com/chesterdiocese Key: C = Clergy LM = Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) (Pastoral Worker) (Youth Worker) Diocesan entries from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are in italics. Foreword One of the great lessons which we can take from the early church is their unity in praying for one another. I wonder if we sometimes take for granted, or overlook, the Epistles’ constant celebration and rejoicing at the lives and works of their brothers and sisters in Christ. Paul writes to the Thessalonians, ‘We always give thanks to God for all of you and mention you in our prayers’ (1 Thess 1:2). John writes to his friend Gaius ‘Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well’ (3 John 1:2). As well as this, we see the early church inviting others to pray for them, Paul writes to the Colossians ‘At the same time pray for us as well that God will open to us a door for the word, that we may declare the mystery of Christ, for which I am in prison, so that I may reveal it clearly, as I should’ (Col 4:3,4). Praying for one another binds the church together in unity. It allows us to share our common purpose in building the Kingdom of God. It allows us to stand with one another in weakness, and to rejoice with one another when things are going well. -
