Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. – John 16.24 As Christians, we are called to become more and more like our God. Everyday that we pray for someone in the world, it changes us. We hope this prayer diary changes you by bringing you closer to our Partners. This small book aims not only to inform your prayer life, but spur you into action. This year we focus on universal themes such as children, evangelism, farmers, health, ministry and education, as well as ABM’s Partners. We hope that you will join us in prayer so that our Partners and all in the world may experience the wholeness of life God offers in Jesus Christ. We have left space in the Prayer Diary for you to include your own personal prayers, so you can pray for those close to you, as well as those far away. Thank you for helping to spread the abundant life that Jesus came to bring (John 10:10) and your commitment to spread God’s glory.

    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.

  • 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.
