Kind regards STEVE LUCAS Legal Officer Table of Contents • Presidential Address and Mission Presentation • The Missionary Hour • Elections • Resolutions passed • Ordinances passed • Ordinances introduced • Appendix A: Text of Resolutions Presidential Address and Mission Presentation The Archbishop opened his Presidential Address and Mission Presentation by reflecting on God’s “unusual work” in the Reformation and in particular the martyrdom of Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer on 16 October 1555. In the Archbishop’s words – “We see, in the light which they gave us. We are their descendants, because they played a major role in the recovery of the evangelical gospel in England. They did much in their lives and teaching; they did most through their deaths. Months later, the cause of the Reformation was further sealed with the death by burning of Thomas Cranmer. It was their evangelical Protestantism which has been the major shaping force in this Diocese. When we forget them, we forget who we are. Through them God did a major and unusual work, with consequences even now still apparent.” The Archbishop posed a question for our Diocese: “Will we see an unusual work of God in our time?” This question formed the backbone of his Address.

  • Prayer Diary 2018
    Anglican Diocese of Grafton Prayer Diary 2018 A LETTER FROM THE BISHOP Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, This 2018 edition of our Diocesan Prayer Diary once again gathers the prayer requests of all our ministry units and agencies, enabling us to focus our prayers through the year, upholding each other and lovingly supporting each other. Although we are scattered along the coastal strip of northern NSW, from Tweed Heads south to Port Macquarie, we are held together by our love of God, our commitment to each other and to the Gospel, and by the prayer we offer for each other day by day, week by week, throughout the year. As we pray, so we offer a gift of love to those for whom we are praying. The very act of prayer also deepens our own relationship with God. I encourage you to pray for the people, parishes, schools and agencies of the Diocese, and particularly for the Discernment Synod and Bishop’s Appointment process. As 2018 unfolds there will be many prayer points which emerge. If you would like to receive the weekly Diocesan Prayer Chain, please contact the Rev’d David Hanger at [email protected]. This weekly email offers an up to date list of prayer points. May you be richly blessed in your prayer life. Grace and peace, The Right Reverend Dr Sarah Macneil DAY 1 Although I can't see the outcome, you will be beside me whatever happens to me I am always in your hands. PARISH: Alstonville: The Reverend Dr Desiree Snyman (Marius) The Reverend Geoff Vidal (Carol) The Reverend John Kidson (Kris) Licensed Lay Ministers: Iris Cowie Diana Eagles Charlie Handley Mark Stuckey Please Pray: Please join with us as we pray for: • Messy Church leaders, families and newcomers • Intergenerational Worship leaders, congregation and newcomers • LIFE Group leaders, participants and newcomers • Op Shop leaders, volunteers, clients and Drop-in Centre ministry • Seniors' Ministry leaders, congregation and newcomers.
