We must pray the Lord raises up a new generation of Anglican leaders (TMA)
After months of procrastination, last night I finally wrote my will. The section on funeral wishes raised an urgent and uncomfortable question. Naturally, I want a classic Anglican service in an Anglican church, with the proper Anglican mix of grief at the verities of death, and hope in the reality of resurrection. But here’s my question – will there be any Anglican priests around to bury me?
We have the money, now we need vision
In the last ten years in this diocese $69 million has been realised from sale of church properties. Only seven per cent of those funds were spent on new building projects.
Anglicans and Moses: the law from another time but for all time
Perhaps it is time for Christians to admit that the Law of Moses is an embarrassing irrelevance, and stop reading it altogether in church. That’s what some popular preachers are saying – echoing no doubt the unspoken position of many around the world (many congregations would baulk at the thought of a sermon series on Numbers). Thankfully, this is an error which our Anglican heritage provides a bulwark against.
Save thousands on your next trip to a foreign land
Australians love to travel. More than half of us own a passport, and by world standards we are amongst the most intrepid of travellers – rivalled only by Saudi Arabia and China in dollars spent per capita and time spent abroad. Millennials are our leading transoceanic excursionists, generally outspending their parents and grandparents. These young antipodeans save fastidiously for months to finance their trips, and often go without meals while abroad.
But if it’s a life changing trip to a far country you’re after, you can save thousands – simply by opening the pages of your Old Testament.
