News Archive

When the news fades and becomes less important, it finds its way to our news archive below:

Parish Showbag?

It has been suggested that a parish showbag might be an attractive way to help integrate new parishioners into the mysteries of parish community life! This welcome kit would obviously contain all the information currently available on the parish website. Any other suggestions about what might usefully be included?

Holy War

An interview with the Archbishop of Canterbury in Time magazine, together with a feature article on his attempts to hold the Anglican Communion together, offer a reasonably accurate potted version of the current state of play in international Anglicanism. You can check out the links @ www.thinkinganglicans.org.uk 

Story of Jesus

The article ‘The Story of Jesus’ which Fr David was invited to write for the federal government sponsored Project Abraham book on Muslims, Jews & Christians living together in Australia, is now available as a parish pamphlet and online. All sorts of people wander into our open church each week, some just being curious, others seeking truth and meaning, others again to be quiet or to pray. Many know nothing of Christ or the Christ-like God, so we offer this very brief introduction.

Sacristy

Thanks to Bob Whittle for re-ordering our tiny sacristy so as to make better use of limited space, and especially for making the “stillage” upon which the photocopier now resides. Never heard of a “stillage”? Well, there is some dispute, one definition being “stillage is any object on which a cask of ale is placed for service”!!!! Anyway, like Fr David and the Churchwardens, look it up!


 

Churchwarden Appointed

Pam Arthur retired as Churchwarden at Easter, leaving Allan Griffiths alone in this role. Fr David has now appointed Helen Matusik as Churchwarden, confident that she will be warmly welcomed in this significant ministry by the parish community. Churchwardens are responsible officers of the parish and diocese, and share leadership with the parish priest. Please be assured, Helen, of our love and prayer at all times.

Conversation with the Church

Highly recommended! The Most Rev. Dr Katherine Jefforts Schori, Primate of the USA, conducts a conversation with the church, including questions and answers with studio, telephone and online participation.
