Ubfr6^Antons of ST LAURENCE NEWSLETTER NO. 32. FEBRUARY BROTHERHOOD OF ST LAURENCE 67 BRUNSWICK STREET, FITZROY 3065 UBfr6^ANtONS OF ST LAURENCE Address: 67 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. Telephone: 419 7055 Committee: The Revd P. Hollingworth (Chaplain), M. Rusden (Secretary) A. Bush, A. Heathfield, I. Helmore, W. Ford, S. Kirkegard, C. Smith. NEWSLETTER NO. 32. FEBRUARY, 1980, CSL NEWSLETTER - An apology is offered to Companions as this Newsletter is the first since June 1979. We are hoping to get the Newsletter established on a more regular basis, and any suggestions, contributions, or practical help would be welcomed. REPORT FROM COMMITTEE - It was with regret that the Committee, at its last meeting, received the resignation of Jean Herkes. She is retiring from her position with the Malvern City Council, and with her husband Hal, will be moving to Cowes to live. It is hoped that she can maintain her membership of CSL, and that we may be able to offer support in relation to her involvement in a new community. We are pleased to welcome two new members to the Committee - Irene Helmore has agreed to accept the vacancy left by Jean's resignation, and Bill Ford has agreed to be the third staff member, a position which has been vacant since Jim Barr resigned early in 1979. At the last meeting in January, the Committee agreed to call a meeting for February 21st to look at the program for 1980. A discussion of many aspects of the Companions took place and the following matters were suggested for the agenda for that meeting - a discussion paper on CSL; the possibility of quarterly meetings; the formation of Sub-committees for the Newsletter, and in relation to the 50th Anniversary of the Brotherhood; and the future of the cell and/or study groups. FOUNDATION FESTIVAL - The 49th anniversary of the founding of the Brotherhood was celebrated at Christ Church, South Yarra on December 9th, 1979. We were fortunate to have the Revd Athol Gill of Whitley College and the House of the Gentle Bunyip to give us a most interesting address. After the Service many people renewed contact with friends and acquaintances, including many from Carrum Downs, over a cup of tea provided for us by the ladies of Christ Church. NEWS OF COMPANIONS - The Revd Geoffrey Taylor, a member of the Brotherhood Board for the past ten years, was recently inducted at St John's Parish Church, Albany, Western Australia. - 2 - Fr Michael and the Community of St Mark,have left St Mark's Fitzroy to live in Camperdown, where they have been offered accommodation in an old Rectory. The Revd Vernon Cohen has left the Avalon Community, and has taken up duties at St Bede's, Elwood. The Revd Peter Kan is the appointee to Avalon. Margaret Best, who retired from Aged Services at No. 67 last year, has been travelling with her husband Les in Britain and America. Another traveller is Dorothy Trangmar who goes to Europe in a few weeks time and we wish her a pleasant trip. Bishop Michael Challen of Perth is spending three months overseas, studying new developments in parish ministries. Peter Hollingworth was fortunate to be in Perth at the time of the celebration in St George's Cathedral of the tenth anniversary of Archbishop Geoffrey Sambell's appointment as Archbishop. Those who know the Archbishop were sorry to hear that he has been ill again, although it was unrelated to his previous illness. AROUND BSL - The changes at BSL commenced when Peter Hollingworth began duty as the Executive Director on Friday 1st February. We have enclosed a copy of a personal letter written to all members of staff concerning his appointment. The usual monthly Communion Service was transferred from Monday to Friday 1st, and this occasion was shared by staff, ex-staff, members of the Coolibah Club and residents from Sumner House. Jessica Millott, the manager of the Coolibah Club at Fitzroy, was awarded the BEM in the New Year's honours. This news delighted us all, and it is said that the members of the Club celebrated for two days! Miss Bishop, one of the members of the Club, paid a fine tribute to Jess when she spoke to the group meeting in the Chapel just after New Year, of the many ways in which Jess has cared for those who came to seek her help, and how she has made them welcome over the years at BSL. Mrs Jean Parker, who was known to many people in the welfare field - both clients and staff (and Companions), has resigned from her position as the switchboard operator and receptionist. Jean and her husband Joseph have bought the General Store at Ensay in Gippsland, and we wish them well in this venture. Jean worked for the Brotherhood for 21 years and during that time she became one of the key members of staff who had to cope with many different situations. Everybody who called in received VIP treatment from her, whether they wanted to make a donation, had an appointment with a Director or just wanted someone to talk with. Often in the foyer you would see people talking with Jean, old men, middle-aged women and young boys and girls. They'd get a cheery welcome and, quite often, some commonsense advice as well. Back in 1978 Jean said "They just come in, have a talk and go away again. They all call me Jeannie, sometimes they bring me in ice-creams or sweets. They know they can't put it over me, so they don't try." Chris Scheffer has left the Material Aid Centre to spend more time with her family, after working there for four years. Latterly Chris has had a very difficult job where she has had to cope with growing numbers of clients in cramped conditions, but this didn't affect her compassion and concern for the low-income families who sought her assistance. We are - 3 - not saying goodbye to Chris as we welcome her as a Companion and look forward to her contribution to our activities and discussions. Congratulations are due to Graham Walker, manager of the Donated Goods Division, who has been appointed an Associate Director of BSL. Congratulations are also due to Peter Hollingworth who was elected President of VCOSS at the Annual General Meeting in October 1979. He had been a Vice-President since 1975. The Brotherhood again ran a Christmas Toy Club during December, where over 2000 children from low-income families received about 8500 toys. The toys were obtained from the Donated Goods Division, donated by schools, groups, manufacturers and wholesalers, made for the Club by volunteers, or purchased by BSL. St Mark's Chapel - Our regular services have commenced again on Mondays at 1.00 p.m., the first Monday being a Eucharist, and the others a ^Service of intercession and worship. Companions are welcome to attend any of these services. Visitors to the Chapel will notice an improve­ ment in the lighting, including an indirect one above the Altar, and the freshening up by some new paint. UNEMPLOYMENT SEMINARS - Catherine Smith attended a series of seminars on unemployment in the last part of 1979 and forwarded the following report to Companions. Burwood Unemployment Seminars Members of the Companions might be interested to know of a series of four seminars arranged firstly by the Burwood Uniting Church, and supported by the Inter-Church Council so that people from other churches attended also. The sessions were taken by David Griffiths of ARC, and about 40 people ^ came each night. There were of course, some drop-outs, and apart from the usual reasons, some people left either because although they felt they knew all the answers, others didn't agree with thejn. or because they were looking to be told all the answers, and David didn't run things that way. The four subjects were - Employment: Right or Privilege; . Causes of Unemployment; What is being done? What can we do? Each member of the Seminar was provided with a kit of factual material from the Uniting Church, and David provided further hand-outs. This sort of seminar can be an academic exercise unless it results in action. It is too early yet to know what the long term results will be, but the beginning is hopeful. About 30 people have begun involvement in the following four groups - Job Creation, investigation of our own life styles, investigating the situation concerning homeless youth in the area, and social action. The latter, to which I belong, is considering planning a campaign for a rise in the amount of permissible income for an unemployed person (at present they are only allowed to earn$6 per week). All participants have come to understand more clearly the difference between band-aid measures to help unemployment, and more radical steps to alter the system. The first will always need doing, but is much easier to tackle, and therefore the more necessary radical one is often neglected. I have written on this seminar because it seems to me to be one viable way of doing some consciousness-raising in a local district. It also - 4 - seems to be appropriate for Inter-Church Councils (or their Social Action sub-committees) to sponsor such a move; and the more ground-roots action the better. Catherine Smith. SOME RANDOM PERSONAL REFLECTIONS ON CSL - During my absence from BSL for a few months last year, and as can happen in a period of inactivity, there is time to reflect and try to take a fresh look at things. One of the areas my thoughts kept returning to, was why I initially thought I would miss contact with the Companions, but later found that this was not so as there remained a strong link no matter where I was at a particular time.

  • NEWSLETTER No
    ANGLICAN MEN’S SOCIETY The National Council in Australia NEWSLETTER No. 98 Thirty Forth Year of publication October, 2012 ISSN 1836-7364 “Fragile Masculinity” At the recent AMS National Conference in Tasmania I shared the decision of the CEBS/BMA National Executive to commission a review and restructure of that organisation. Bishop Michael Challen, known to many of you, who is up-to-date with his interest in Sociology and Social Trends Analysis of Australian culture; has teamed with Dr Ian Lillico the Executive Director of Boys Forward Institute to undertake the review and restructuring of CEBS – Boys Ministry Australia. Because I currently hold positions in the National Executives of CEBS and AMS I have taken a keen interest in the mission of the Anglican Church to Men and Boys. The National Church Life Survey results across this nation tell us that the ratio of females to males in our congregations is 2:1. This objective take on the Mission and Outreach of our church tells us we are twice as effective at outreach to females as males. This was confirmed anecdotally when a rural representative in the Diocese of Perth told me that “religion” and going to church was seen as “sissy” or a “sign of weakness” by a whole generation of men; and yet “deep down they are still hungry for God”! “Yes Bishop, farmers in particular have a lot of time to “think” when they are sitting in a harvester header or rounding up stock on a motorbike! After all they are in the wide open spaces “the wilderness”, with no distractions .

I just propose 4 now giving a short opening address. Though this Special 5 Inquiry has been named the St Andrew's Hostel Inquiry, its 6 terms of reference provide that it can consider any 7 evidence of allegations of sexual abuse by any person at a 8 related organisation. This necessarily includes any hostel 9 that fell within the control of the Country High School 10 Hostels Authority. 11 12 For the next three days the public hearings of the 13 Inquiry will be examining what took place at the 14 St Christopher boys' hostel in Northam from the late 1960s 15 through to the end of 1977. Investigations by the Inquiry 16 over the last several months have uncovered allegations of 17 sexual misconduct to hostel boys by the warden at this 18 hostel during this period and his name is Roy Wenlock. 19 20 Over the course of the next three days evidence will 21 either be led or read from statements that have been 22 provided to the Inquiry detailing this alleged behaviour by 23 the warden. The Inquiry will examine the response by the 24 St Christopher's Hostel board once it became aware of this 25 warden's behaviour.

  • Emic Social Work: a Story of Practice
    EMIC SOCIAL WORK: A STORY OF PRACTICE BY FRANCES ROBERTA CRAWFORD B.A.Hons., University of Western Australia, 1970 M.S.W., University of Western Australia, 1977 © Copyright by Frances Roberta Crawford, 1994 THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Social Work in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1994 Urbana, Illinois EMIC SOCIAL WORK: A STORY OF PRACTICE Frances Roberta Crawford, Ph. D. School of Social Work University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1994 Susanne E. Glynn, Advisor This autoethnographical study reflects on the lived experience of a social worker with a public welfare agency in the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia during the seventies and early eighties. Framed by a philosophical consideration of the tensions between postmodernism and modernism, the study utilized the research methods of feminist critical ethnography and interpretive interactionism. Reflection on the practitioner's seven years of immersion in participant observation, interviewing and document analysis was organized around key epiphanic moments of cultural insight. In this setting, it was found that Aboriginal people were excluded from the demos in the consciousness of most Western Australians, including social workers. This actuality was traced by working from the practitioner's bodily placement in the region and the relationships this entailed. The processes by which this ideological exclusion was abstracted and generalized into standard knowledge for social workers to apply across a diversity of local situations are described. This practitioner case- study identified the workings of structural power bases in local and particular situations, and the strong links between power and knowledge.

  • 12. St Christopher's Hostel, Northam
    St Andrew’s Hostel Katanning: How the system and society failed our children 12. St Christopher’s Hostel, Northam 12.1 Background and history In 1941 the Anglican Church established the St Christopher’s Hostel at Northam to provide residential accommodation for boys attending Northam High School. Because of the nature of the buildings in which the Hostel was originally housed it was nicknamed by its boarders as “the hut”, and it continued to be known by that name during the 1970s. Girls attending at Northam High School were accommodated in a separate hostel (established in 1938) known as Adamson House. When St Christopher’s Hostel closed in 2003 it was replaced by Adamson House which became a co-educational hostel for both girls and boys. The Anglican Church continued to administer St Christopher’s Hostel after the Country High Schools Hostel Authority (the Authority) was formed in 1960. The Authority used its powers under its Act to delegate responsibility for this continuing administration of the Hostel to the Anglican Church. Accordingly the Church remained responsible for the Hostel’s day-to-day management, and also selected the members of the St Christopher’s Board. The Board members were chosen in accordance with a statute of the Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Perth. Its Chairman was the Archdeacon of Northam and other ex-officio members were the Principal of Northam Senior High School, and a nominee of the Northam Town Council. The parents of students boarding at the Hostel were entitled to elect two Board members, and the remaining two members were elected by Synod (t 3456).
