    First Sunday of Lent 21 February 2021 Eucharist at 8 am and 10 am Presider: Rev’d Canon Prof Dorothy Lee Sermon: Rev’d Canon Jan Joustra Gathering in God’s Name A bell rings as a signal for all to stand silently as the service begins. Sisters and brothers in Christ, from the earliest days of the Church, Christians have observed with great devotion the time of our Lord’s passion and resurrection. It became the custom of the church to prepare for this by a season of penitence and fasting. At first this season was observed by those who were preparing for baptism at Easter and by those who, having been excommunicated, were to be restored to the communion of the church. By keeping these days with care and attention Christians might take to heart the call to repentance and the assurance of forgiveness proclaimed in the gospel, and grow in faith and devotion to our Lord. So, by self-examination and repentance, by prayer and fasting, by self-denial and acts of generosity and by reading and meditating on the word of God, let us keep a holy Lent. Silence is kept. Let us pray for grace to keep Lent faithfully. Almighty and everlasting God you hate nothing that you have made and forgive sins of all those who are penitent. Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that, lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, we may receive from you, the God of all mercy, perfect forgiveness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

  • Ecumenical Bulletin
    ECUMENICAL BULLETIN ISSUED BY THE ECUMENICAL AFFAIRS COMMISSION OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF MELBOURNE, 406 ALBERT ST., EAST MELBOURNE. 3002. TEL. (03) 662 1962 REGISTERED BY AUSTRALIA POST- PUBLICATION No. VAR. 90 7937 No.26,June, 1992 CHRISTIAN DIALOGUE Since the early 1970's most Churches throughout the world have been involved in serious discussion with each other. Generally these discussions have involved two parties at a time - dialogues - because it is easier to work that way. Some of these dialogues have been at an international level, some nationally and some locally. At the international level most of us are familiar with the ARCIC discussion (Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission.) In Australia a number of formal discussions have taken place for some years. One of these is about to end one phase of its work and begin another. The Catholic and Uniting Churches have had a Working Group meeting twice or three times a year since the formation of the " Uniting Church in Australia in 1978''. The Group took over work that was being done between the Catholic Church and the Churches that came together to form the Uniting Church. The Working Group has been meeting in Melbourne and is co-chaired by Archbishop Little for the Catholic Church and Dr. Ian Breward for the Uniting Church. His predecessor was Dr. Davis McCaughey. The work of the Group will move to another State (Brisbane) in 1993 so as to involve another group of workers. The Group's first task was to discuss Baptism and a statement of Agreement was published in all Catholic and Uniting Church papers in 1979.

  • Rev'd Canon Professor Dorothy
    The Blessing of Civil Unions Address to the Synod of Wangarratta 31 August 2019 Mr President and Members of Synod, I have been asked to address you on the subject of the blessing of civil marriages within the liturgical life of the church. So I thought we should begin by looking at blessing in the world of the Bible, then briefly about blessing in our Anglican tradition, and finally about the blessing of civil unions in general from a theological perspective. 1. Blessing in the biblical world Blessing is an important concept in the biblical world. To be blessed by God means to receive God’s favour in protection of us and provision for us. At the beginning of creation, living creatures are blessed by God, including human beings, so that they may thrive and flourish (Gen 1:22, 28). By implication, God’s favour lies on the whole creation which is declared ‘good’ and continues its life under that same divine blessing. In addition, blessing is also associated with the covenant: to be blessed by God means to be in a relationship with God of love and obedience. For Abraham, the blessing resting on him is not just for himself. He is also to be a source of blessing for other people and nations (Gen 22:17-18). The covenant made with the people of Israel on Mount Sinai brings with it the promise of blessing in response to obedience to the Law of Moses. The Law calls for justice and goodness in Israel’s relationships: with one another, with foreigners in their midst, with their animals, and even with the land itself (Exod 23:1-12).
