Comment on Bishop Genieve’s Sermon from the 30th Anniversary of the Ordination of Women by Janet Scarfe

Great photo, it must have been a wonderful occasion of re-membering, celebration and thanksgiving. I was there at the non-ordination and the ordination. Could you caption the photo please? So important to name people.
The Adelaide anniversary service will be held in St Peter’s Cathedral on 4 December at 6pm, ACDST – AND it will be live-steamed (there was an earlier celebration on 23 March when six of the seven women bishops were here but 4 Dec is the eve of the anniversary of the first ordination). Bishop Denise Ferguson will preach and Bishop Keith Rayner who played such a pivotal role in the controversy will launch a special commemorative publication and virtual exhibition.
All welcome!

I would like to personally thank you Bev. For always being there for us as newly ordained clergy when we weren’t quite sure how the way things were done administration wise.
Thank you for all your patience and loving kindness, I will always be grateful. May our most gracious Lord bless you, and enfold you and those you love within the arms of His love, now and always ❤

May the Lord be with you as you move to a new position Jeremy. We have been blessed to have you in the Canberra Goulburn Diocese. Your parents raised you to love and honour the Lord, as did St Philip’s Caringbah.

I believe you have put this together very well and we should all undergird these matters with our prayers on a daily basis

Comment on Silencing the Church? by Admin

In reply to Ashish Nair.

Hi Ashish,

I’m glad to hear of your desire to see ‘the salvation of souls’ and to see more people in church. The good news is that these things are happening at St Nick’s and we are very much focused on them. We are a rapidly growing church and have recently run several Christianity Explored courses despite Covid. We’re also focussed on discipleship with the launch last year of the St Nick’s Gap Year program and this year a whole of church discipleship course. We are also planning and are on track to launch our first church plant into the burgeoning northern suburbs of Goulburn in a few years time. St Nick’s is a healthy, growing and vibrant church that is very much focussed on sharing the good news of Jesus with people in Goulburn and around the world.

However, I don’t agree that the proposed waste incinerator is something that does not even affect the church. The church is the people of God and these people breathe the same air and drink the same water as everyone else in their community. What’s more, the Scriptures urge us to speak up for the vulnerable and those who can’t speak for themselves (Proverbs 31:8-9). And so in obedience to God’s Word we as his people are speaking out on this vital community issue.

God bless,

Reverend Paul Davey

Why doesn’t the Anglican Church in Canberra-Goulburn speak out against abortion and same-sex marriage?

Why doesn’t the St. Nicholas Anglican Church focus on the salvation of souls and getting back dwindling church attendance numbers instead of worrying about things that do not even affect the Church? Let secular matters remain in secular hands. God bless you.
