The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight—indeed, he is coming, says the Lord 2 of hosts. B​ ut who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand ​ 3 when he appears?For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap; h​ e ​ will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they 4 present offerings to the Lord in righteousness. T​ hen the offering of Judah ​ and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years. Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. ​ Psalter Psalm 24 said together 1 ​ ​ ​ The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it: the compass of the world and those who dwell therein. 2 ​ For he has founded it upon the seas: and established it upon the waters. 3 ​ Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 ​ Those who have clean hands and a pure heart: who have not set their soul upon idols, nor sworn their oath to a lie. 5 ​ They shall receive blessing from the Lord: and recompense from the God of their salvation. 6 ​ Of such a kind as this are those who seek him: those who seek your face, O God of Jacob. 4 7 ​ Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in. 8 ​ Who is the King of glory?: the Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. 9 ​ Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in. 10 ​ Who is the King of glory?: the Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.

F​ or it is clear that he ​ 17 did not come to help angels, but the descendants of Abraham. T​ herefore ​ he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make 18 a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people. B​ ecause he himself ​ was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested. Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. ​ At 10am please stand for the Gradual Hymn ​ Gradual Hymn 619 ’Have faith in God, my heart’ ​ At both services we stand and turn to face the gospel as it is read The Gospel Luke 2.22-40 ​ The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, Chapter 2, commencing at verse ​ ​ twenty two. Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ. 22 ​ W​ hen the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (​ as it is written in the law of the Lord, ‘Every firstborn male shall be 24 designated as holy to the Lord’), a​ nd they offered a sacrifice according to ​ 5 what is stated in the law of the Lord, ‘a pair of turtle-doves or two young 25 pigeons.’ N​ ow there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; ​ this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of 26 Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. I​ t had been revealed to him by ​ the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s 27 Messiah. G​ uided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when ​ the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary 28 under the law, S​ imeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying, 29 ​ ‘​ Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace, according to 30 31 your word; f​ or my eyes have seen your salvation, w​ hich you have ​ 32 ​ prepared in the presence of all peoples, a​ light for revelation to the ​ 33 Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.’ A​ nd the child’s father and ​ 34 mother were amazed at what was being said about him. T​ hen Simeon ​ blessed them and said to his mother Mary, ‘This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be 35 opposed s​ o that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed—and a ​ 36 sword will pierce your own soul too.’ T​ here was also a prophet, Anna ​ the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.

  • The Local and the Universal: Anglican Appreciations of the Saints And
    AEJT 16 (August 2010) Cadwallader / MacKillop THE LOCAL AND THE UNIVERSAL Anglican appreciations of the Saints and Mary MacKillop1 Alan Cadwallader Abstract: This paper provides a critical explanation of the shifting means by which the Anglican Communion has recognized saints. It is seen that there is a proximity between the practice of the Anglican Communion and that of the Orthodox Church, with particular accent on the esteem in which local practice is held and the overarching power of the liturgical calendar to bring recognition. In the light of this practice, an assessment is given of how the sainthood of Mary McKillop might be appreciated within the Anglican Church, especially in Australia. A. ANGLICAN APPRECIATIONS OF THE SAINTS arly in the twentieth century, one Archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo EGordon Lang, wrote that "'Beatification' … is not a word in the vocabulary of the Anglican Church." "Canonisation" has received a similar de-listing. The reformed side of the Anglican Church is suspicious of any compromise of honour to be accorded the Saviour, the Son of God. It is also suspicious of aggrandisement of some over others in the communion of saints. Concern surrounds the suspected purpose(s) behind the recognition of some persons as "Saints". In times long past these scruples motivated the Anglican Church to contrast itself from certain practices of the Church of Rome. Thus for some though not all Anglicans, the notion of purgatory, and the practice of prayers to those who have 1 Thanks to the Rev'd Dr Ron Dowling, the Rev'd Canon Dirk van Dissel, and the Very Rev'd David Richardson for directing me to particular materials.

  • Trinity Hills 2001–2004
    CHAPTER 12 ‘We wanted the first one to be a winner’: Trinity Hills 2001–2004 n Sunday morning 29 February 2004, the Christian congrega- tion calling itself ‘Holy Trinity Adelaide: Hills’, or more briefly, ‘HTA: Hills’ gathered to celebrate the third anniversary of its inauguration. The venue was the Aldgate Community Hall, a Omodest country town facility at the time geared to the screening of films. About 250 people, including probably sixty children, attended, sitting for the most part on the comfortable, if battered, cinema seats, or perched on the extra plastic chairs deployed for this occasion. The service, detailed on the pew sheet, was a brisk ensemble of hymns, prayers, announcements, features and a sermon. The Revd Chris Edwards, founding Anglican clergyman of the congregation, gave a pointed and vigorous address that left his audience in no doubt of his expectations of them. A few days later, at a briefing meeting of the members of the parish of Holy Trinity, North Terrace, Adelaide, it was pointed out that this new congregation, which the parish fostered, funded, developed and supervised, had lifted its pledged contribution to the budget for the support of this new ven- ture from the 2003 figure of $109,000 to $160,000 for 2004. In addition, the newly-appointed full-time pastoral worker for the Hills congregation, Clayton Fopp, was introduced to the meeting.1 In a highly urbanised diocese that has been experiencing contrac- tion for many years2 here was a remarkable counter-punch. This was a new congregation with a secure attendance roughly double that of the diocesan average, and an income likewise well above typical figures for the rest of the diocese.

Apart from any fair dealing for the purposes of study, research, criticism, review, or as otherwise permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission. Inquiries should be made to the publisher. Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.
