Almost everyone who is a member of the Australian Ordinariate realises that one of the challenges we face is that of explaining who and what we are to others, and equally importantly, what we are not. During the Clergy Residential Conference in 2014, it was agreed that around the feast of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, each Or- dinariate community would invite friends, fellow Catholics, sup- porters and other interested people to an event during which they could meet us, but also experience a little of our worship and life. WHAT SORT OF EVENT? This will very much depend on the community, the facilities available, and above all, the amount of effort the members of the community are prepared to put into the occasion. As Ordinary, I hope to make a short video presentation that may be used as part of the celebrations. The occasion could include short presentations by one or two of the laity about their journey into the Ordinariate and their experience of being members of it. Personal stories are always interesting, especially the stories of the laity. If refreshments are offered, then it is important that the Ordinariate community members mix with visitors and avoid clump- ing together like a bunch of grapes. Perhaps Evensong could be said or sung, but use a distinctive form of Anglican liturgical tradition and not a DIY creation. Careful thought would need to be given about whether a Mass is appropriate especially given the discipline of receiving communion. If Mass is considered appropriate, it needs to be the Ordinariate Use that is not overlong. INFORMATION SHARING Please ensure that leaflets, pamphlets and the bookmark prepared by Fr Hill that summarises the charism of the Ordinariate are available. You can obtain them from the Ordinariate Office and hand them out, don’t just leave them in a pile and hope people will take them. Information sharing produces results. Details of local mass times, venue and contact details of the priest or office need to be readily accessible for visitors who attend. SUPPORTERS NETWORK The Ordinariate has a Supporters Network that is a mailing list of people who are not Ordinariate members but may or may not be attenders at worship, but nevertheless are supporters of this bold ecumenical initiative. Supporters receive mail outs and news from the Ordinariate Office, but the Office can supply a list of local Supporters to each local community. Each community could use this list to invite them to special services, social events and fund raising initiatives that are held locally.

THE FUTURE Our Anglican Patrimony has always encouraged us to reach beyond ourselves and to be obedient to the Gospel imperative that we must care for others as well as ourselves. Catholic Mission and Caritas are two well-known Catholic Agencies that have a universal mission, but there are other more local projects that Ordinariate communities could support and even be involved with. Reaching out to the needs of others is not an option for Chris- tians. The option exists in choosing whom to support. The gospel imperative to meet each other's needs flows from the imperative to proclaim the Faith and be Christ’s agents for those who are seeking to deepen their relationship with God. People come to Faith through many doors, so we must provide many of those open doors in our local Ordinariate communities. Taizé style worship or Holy Hour with an An- glican flavour could be advertised and offered periodically. Advertised Study Groups, Qui- et Days and Enquirers Courses could be offered to the wider Catholic and non- Catholic Community. Very soon the new Divine Worship Missal will be authorised and this will add a new liturgical stream in Catholic worship. This will be another historical moment in Church History that will need to be celebrated. The challenges the Church is facing in our Western world is a trumpet call to us to wake up from sleep celebrate who we are, and enable our English Spiritual and Theological Tradition to lead others to know and love God and so grow his kingdom.
