  • Ministry Commission Report to General Synod 2007
    COMMISSION: MINISTRY MINISTRY COMMISSION The Ministry Commission in this triennium has overviewed ministry practice within the Anglican Church of Australia identifying urgent issues before this Church and responding to the three references made to the Commission by the last General Synod, the Standing Committee and the General Secretary. Membership of the Commission Bishop Brian Farran (Chair), Archbishop Jeffrey Driver, Bishop Rob Nolan, Canon Colleen O’Reilly, Archdeacon Peter Stuart, the Reverends Mark Charleston and Kevin Bourke, Dr. Grahame Feletti. References to the Commission 1. Model Statement for Clergy & Model Performance Review The 2004 General Synod requested the Ministry Commission to develop a model statement for clergy of the expectations and responsibilities of their roles and entitlements at the time of their appointment. The Commission developed such a document which the Standing Committee sent to Dioceses after its October 2006 meeting for the consideration of and response by the dioceses to the Ministry Commission. Only the Diocese of Bendigo has forwarded comments to the Ministry Commission upon this document. The document is too substantial to include in this report. The review of responses to the document will be on the agenda of the Ministry Commission. The second component of the General Synod 2004 reference was the request for the development of a model review of the performance of the clergy. The Commission developed guidelines for the review of clergy in ministry using the mnemonic review. Introduction Throughout the Australian Church there is increased interest in reviewing the effectiveness, appropriateness and direction of clergy ministry. The clergy themselves, bishops and church leaders want to see in what ways the ministry being exercised makes a difference.

  • Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012
    CHAPTER 15 Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012 hile the health of the gatherings new and old was the central concern of the pastors led by Paul Harrington, these years saw many other efforts at developing the effectiveness of Holy Trinity’s ministry, both to its existing members and to those Wwho might join once they had heard and been convinced by the teaching on offer. This chapter examines some of those other endeavours over the decade or more since 2000. ***** Setting up and caring for the early years of the Hills congregation while maintaining a clear view of opportunities on North Terrace saw Harrington and his team maintain a fairly steady course through 2000–2001. The procedure of promoting the subsequent year’s budget by publishing a ‘Vision for Ministry’ in the spring was now well established. It permitted Harrington to promote his intentions and get responses to the draft budget from the congregation. The wardens then adjusted their plans accordingly. It made the subsequent annual vestry meetings less fraught, and meant the costs incurred before the Vestry meeting were more predictable. One immediate change saw Andrew Cole joined the team to replace Jeff Parkin, now titled site manager Cole would work with a revivified site management team that lifted the security and general health of the North Terrace buildings. A major pastoral initiative was launched by Lyn Sarah, drawing on her social work experience as well as her developing theological studies. She introduced what she called the ‘PEACE Pastoral Care’ model. Her goal was to develop a growing number of members of the congregation who were trained in a more intentional approach to pastoral care, while not ever pretending to be professional counselors.

This column is being written on the day after Ash Most of the recently built Sydney Anglican Churches Wednesday. This year Ash Wednesday cannot but fit this pattern- they are plain and functional with help to remind us of the tragic Victorian bushfires minimal decoration and generally devoid of religious and the thousands of people who have been so deeply symbolism. They are places to meet with others and the affected by them. focus of attention is a stage with a podium and As Anglicans we are also aware of the two microphone. We no longer have services in such places, communities, Kinglake and Marysville that have seen we have meetings and the buildings express that their churches destroyed and many of their parishioners understanding. rendered homeless. I have to confess that my experience over twenty years of ordained ministry has changed my thinking on the value of the building and made me question the ‘rain shelter’ view. God clearly has a sense of humour for if you had told me at the age of 16 that 40 years later I would be the rector of an Anglican parish with two heritage church buildings complete with stained glass, crosses, candles and liturgical colours I would have been incredulous. So how should we regard our church buildings? To me they function somewhat like the sacraments. They are visible reminders of a spiritual reality, namely the gathered Christian community. For those on the outside, the Church building bears witness to the fact that the people who meet there take God seriously.

  • 0425 Easter 4 8Am 2021 – ANZAC
    BCP Eucharist The Fourth Sunday of Easter – ANZAC Day 8:00am 25 April 2021 Welcome: “This is my commandment, that Celebrant you love one another as I have loved you. The Rev’d Adrian Stephens No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Preacher – John 15:12-13 The Right Rev’d Denise Ferguson Today is ANZAC day and it is quite rightly a day to give thanks for the many people who have placed their own lives in danger to protect the freedom of others. It is a day to remember the Defence Personnel who have died in battle; the people who have been injured or bereaved as a result of war; the people who continue to live with the trauma of war and who may never know peace in their heart. We pray today for the veterans who consider suicide as an option for peace, and we give thanks for the Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide. It is important that we recognise the great sacrifice that many people have made in order that we may live in peace. We also recognise that our Lord died upon that horrid cross so that we could inherit eternal life. As we pray today, let us give thanks to God for our salvation, and let us give thanks for the sacrifice offered by the members of our Defence Personnel. The Rev’d Adrian Stephens, Locum Dean St Peter’s Cathedral strives to be a Christ-centred, sacramental, inclusive, thinking, mission-oriented, faith community.

No onsite services, no Sunday community, no parish groups meeting to provide cohesion. What might then be a barren time, especially at Easter, has turned out to be far from that. Fortunately, we have had particularly good locum priests since the parish fell vacant. Parishioners have received information almost daily during Eastertide, including meditations crafted by locum Bishop Jeffrey Driver and information about ‘We are attempting to get around the parish on the excellent online diocesan services. a weekly basis offering Holy Communion, prayer, The reserved sacrament for Easter written copies of readings, homilies, children’s bulletins – hopefully something for everyone.’ Day was distributed to about 20 people Anne Perryman, Wonthaggi who requested it and the church had its Good Friday and Easter Day livery set up. We may not see it, but God can. Pastoral care has been strengthened by five volunteers who coordinated a contact list of all parishioners, and the finances have been addressed by contacting parishioners about regular collections. We have never been busier or more involved in the life of our parish. It is a hard time but also an empowering time for us. Brian Norris cutting the simnel cake ‘Peter ran to the empty tomb’.

An ecclesiological enquiry into metropolitical authority and provincial polity in the Anglican Communion. Abstract For at least the past two decades, international Anglicanism has been gripped by a crisis of identity: what is to be the dynamic between autonomy and interdependence? Where is authority to be located? How might the local relate to the international? How are the variously diverse national churches to be held together ‘in communion’? These questions have prompted an explosion of interest in Anglican ecclesiology within both the church and academy, with particular emphasis exploring the nature of episcopacy, synodical government, liturgy and belief, and common principles of canon law.
