  • 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.

  • Media Statement 16 March 2017 Statement from Bishop Peter Stuart
    Media Statement 16 March 2017 Statement from Bishop Peter Stuart On behalf of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle I express our considerable sadness at the news that Greg Thompson won't be returning to ministry as the Anglican Bishop of Newcastle. In his short time as our Bishop he has been the catalyst for deep cultural change around the protection of children and the support of victims of abuse. He called us to face our past and in doing so shape a healthy future. This will be his enduring legacy. As part of shaping a healthy future, we worked together in November to initiate independent external reviews of diocesan governance and the professional standards and redress processes. These reviews are well underway and will continue the crucial work of transforming the Diocese. Bishop Greg has led the Diocese to greater health. In 2013, the Diocesan family rejoiced that a ‘son of the diocese’ had been elected as the Diocesan Bishop. The clergy and people have delighted in his ministry in parishes, at the diocesan convention and synod. We have felt deep anguish for him and his family as we learnt of the abuse he experienced and the rejection by some in the Diocese. Throughout his ministry he has been committed to hearing the voices at the grassroots and empowering the vulnerable and people in need. Drawing on the great treasures in the teachings of Jesus, he has been unafraid of speaking strongly to the powerful to ensure transparency and promote justice. We are deeply thankful for Bishop Greg Thompson’s ministry as Anglican Bishop of Newcastle.

  • Parish Life in the Anglican Diocese of Perth, Western Australia – the Bellevue – Darlington Story Michael Evers and Philip Biggs1
    CASE STUDY 10Parish Life in the Anglican Diocese of Perth, Western Australia – the Bellevue – Darlington Story Michael Evers and Philip Biggs1 The Perth Diocese1 The Diocese of Perth is one of three in the state of Western Australia and is the metropolitan see for the Anglican Church in Australia’s province of Western Australia. The present Arch- bishop, Dr Peter Carnley AO, is also Primate of the Anglican Church of Australia. The Diocese has 111 parishes divided, since the mid 1990s, into four regions each with an assistant bishop in charge. Three of the regions are in the metropolitan area of Perth, covering about 3000 square kilometres, in which over 90% of the population of Western Australia lives. The fourth region, the Goldfields Country Region, covers 300 000 square kilometres of wheat and sheep farming land and goldfields round Kalgoorlie where the regional bishop resides. As is true for much of Australia, the rural sector is in severe decline with reducing population and services. This decline has affected the church as well. At present in the region, six parishes of the 18 have full time stipended clergy. For the past six years the region, first under Bishop Brian Far- ran and now Bishop Gerald Beaumont, has been implementing a new policy called ‘Becom- ing Ministering Communities in Mission’, which seeks to provide ordained and lay ministry within the region in a new way. This policy is now also being adopted in city regions where the church has also been facing decline. Throughout the 1990s the Diocese participated in the Decade of Evangelism following the Lambeth meeting of Anglican Bishops from around the world in 1988.
