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.

History of Archbishops Apologies
Past apologies and statements Archbishops’ apologies Archbishop Glenn Davies “I totally support the stand that our Diocese and leaders have taken in stating our total abhorrence of sexual misconduct and any abuse of children. I am committed to strengthening our culture of ‘safe ministry’ through education and professional development of our clergy and lay people, as we seek to maintain the standards of Christian ministry which are grounded in the teaching of the Bible.” Archbishop Peter Jensen “Our reputation cannot be restored by acting as though certain events never occurred. We are going to have to learn once more what it is to live by grace and thus to show repentance as a community. Indeed, there is a deep connection between the Mission and our response to this problem. The Diocese as a whole has a good reputation for care with integrity in churches, schools, welfare work, retirement villages. But shameful cases of abuse of trust do exist, and, as we look back at our history we see that we have not always handled matters well. I do not claim to have responded adequately in all cases either, but I am seeking to be fair, to redress wrongs and to prevent recurrences. Ministry is a character business; lose your character and, effectively, you lose your ministry. Of course there is grace and forgiveness for those who have erred; but part of the very business of coming to grips with what we have done is the recognition by our erring pastors or lay leaders that various forms of ministry are no longer an option.

THERE WAS A COLOURFUL LINE-UP BESIDE ST LUKE’S, LIVERPOOL ON OCTOBER 20, BUT THE people were not lined up to get into the packed bicentenary celebration – rather, they were preparing to read the Bible in the more than 20 languages of people in the parish. The different tongues ringing out from the congregation was in sharp contrast to the first meetings in the colonial outpost in 1819, when the countryside of Liverpool welcomed its new Georgian-style church.
