The Lord used my time in those ministries to prepare me for this new role as a bishop. And finally, I am so thankful for my family and their partnership in the ministry.”

This edition of Sista's Let's Talk was a repeat of the program broadcast on 17th May 2023Women now make up almost half of the Anglican Diocese of Polynesia since the church began ordaining women in the 1970s.  

Bishop Chip Edgar called the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina to exercise hospitality in his address to the 2024 Convention. The event, which drew more than 300 clergy, delegates and guests to the Cross Schools in Bluffton, was held March 8-9. “If we are true to our nature as the people God has called to himself, keeping our blessings to ourselves is not an option,” he said. He urged those present to be ready to welcome the stranger.  “People by the thousands continue to move to South Carolina… Many are unchurched, and study after study suggests that unchurched folks are more likely to visit a church plant than an established church,” he said. “But many are churched, too, and churched folks are more likely to look for churches. To be hospitable, we have to both strengthen our existing churches and plant new ones.”

Buy the Roads of Hurt and Hope Holy Land Lenten study. (All proceeds go to the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem.)All eyes are on the Holy Land right now, as the conflict between Hamas and Israel continues, over a hundred kidnapped Israelis still missing, over a thousand Israeli civilians dead, and tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians killed in the crossfire.As many of you will know, the Living Church postponed a pilgrimage to the Holy Land until further notice. The name of this pilgrimage is In the Footsteps of Jesus. Today we'll be talking with someone who has walked in the footsteps of Jesus many times, as a pilgrimage leader, as well as a resident of Jerusalem. And not only in the footsteps of Jesus, but in the footsteps of Abraham and Sarah, Jacob, David, the apostles, the woman at the well, and many more ancestors in the faith, as well as citizens of the land today.What is it about this place that people have fallen in love with for thousands of years? Why has God met so many people on its roads? What do these roads teach us, not only in human footsteps, but in the rocks and water, plants and animals along the way, about God's presence and faithfulness? And what can we see there now, especially in time for Lent?We enjoyed speaking about all this with the Rev. Canon Dr. Andrew D. Mayes. Andrew has served as spirituality adviser to the Diocese of Chichester and to the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf. He has lived several years in Jerusalem, as a theological researcher and later as director of courses of St. George's College, of which he is an associate professor. He is the author of 16 spirituality books including the award-winning Learning the Language of the Soul, Beyond the Edge, and, most recently, Roads of Hurt and Hope: Transformative Journeys in the Holy Land. (This last book is a Lent study, and all the proceeds will go to the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem for the rebuilding of the Anglican hospital in Gaza.) Tighten your hiking shoes and pack a lunch, and don't forget, if you get a moment, to buy a souvenir. We're going on a journey today, across time and an ancient, beloved landscape. Sometimes strenuous, sometimes quiet. Often surprising. We hope you enjoy the conversation.Check out some of our favorite episodes of the podcast.

Singles often feel left out of church and the gospel, even though Jesus and the Apostle Paul were single. Even when churches preach the significance of singleness from the platform, singles often feel alone and left out in the culture of the church which seems to be built similar to Noah's Ark, that everyone is in sets of two. In her new book, Dr. Danielle Treweek, an Aussie single Jesus-follower, talks with my fabulous podcast producer Tabitha about the eschatological view of singleness and they have a surprising conversation that will raise the eyebrows of those who are married or single. If you've been struggling with seeing your singlehood through the big picture of Scripture or you want to support your single sisters in Christ better, Danielle's interview will give you lots to think about and reflect on.

The Good Shepherd Sunday, September 28, 2023 The Right Reverend Alex Cameron, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburg Church of the Redeemer, Nashville www.Redeemer-Nashville.net

The government of New South Wales in Australia is contemplating a bill that would make it illegal to counsel an individual to “change or suppress” their sexual orientation or gender identity. But the Anglican Diocese of Sydney is refusing to comply.   Last year, Anglican leaders there issued a statement on concupiscence, an aspect of the doctrine of sin having to do with fallen desire, clarifying its relevance to same-sex attraction. Archbishop Kanishka Raffel remarked, “Probably in our culture... that sounds harsh. But this is basic Christian doctrine. … What we want people to know from a pastoral point of view [is] that there is God's help to help us live God's way.”  Especially when it comes to sexuality, it is widely assumed today that our desires are inherently good and define who we are.  But the Christian vision of sin implicates human behavior and human desire. Christ rescues us from our sinful acts and our sinful nature.   Thankfully, some Christians down under still have the courage to say so.  

There's plenty of water to go under the bridge before a call's made on the future of Christchurch's cardboard cathedral.   The Anglican Diocese has made the decision to pull together a working group to discuss options for its future use.  They say the cathedral will be safe from being sold for at least four years.  Anglican Bishop of Christchurch Peter Carrell told Mike Hosking they won't be solely focused on the building.  “We'll be also focused on what is our best inner-city ministry in Christchurch. We used to have three parishes plus the cathedral – we're now down to one parish plus the cathedral and that's some food for thought.”  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The War is Over: It's Time to Plant, Revitalize, Rebuild Edgar Sets Diocesan Priorities in First Convention Address as Bishop In his first convention address as Bishop of The Anglican Diocese of South Carolina, Bishop Chip Edgar set priorities he hoped the Diocese would live into over the course of his Episcopacy. In the address, given March 10, 2023, in the Chapel at the Cross Schools, Bluffton, he highlighted church planting, church revitalization, the continuing education of our clergy, the updating of our constitution and canons and restoring our losses – noting, especially, the development of a new camp and conference center, Camp Jubilee. He also offered a word of caution.

Confession isn't a practice discussed widely in evangelical circles. Yet, James 5 :16 tells us to “confess [our] sins to each other.” So what does that look like?Bishop Andrew Williams of the Anglican Diocese of New England points us to scripture's presentation of confession, detailing its power to move us from a place of shame and isolation to healing and loving community. Want to learn more about the Anglican Diocese of New England?

A teddy bear that was found washed up on a beach has been given a new lease of life and is now providing support to children and people living in care homes. The bear was restored by the Reverend Canon Eleanor Rance and its journey from discarded toy to "therapy bear" generated a global response on social media. The bear, named Sinbad, is used to help people to reflect on issues like brokenness and second chances. Reverend Rance tells us that people have found resonance in how he was washed up on a beach and then given a new start. What's the trick to writing a really inspiring sermon? How can clergy keep their congregation listening? Pope Francis has suggested that Catholic homilies are often a disaster and recently repeated his call for them to be no longer than eight to ten minutes long. Quality is another consideration. Edward Stourton explores the issue with Quentin Letts, parliamentary sketch writer for the Times and drama critic of the Sunday Times and Revd Dr Alycia Timmis, Priest in Charge of the Northleach Benefice in the Anglican Diocese of Gloucester.

Click here for tickets. -- What happened at the Lambeth Conference? This week we've got two bishops fresh from Lambeth, coming in to share what they saw and heard. We'll talk Resolution I.10, missing provinces, the ministry of the archbishop, practical takeaways, how easy it is to get lost in the woods of Kent, and much more. After all the important forecasting and reporting, we note this week the importance of presence. The sense of places and people, emotional impressions, food, weather, silences, tense moments, and what makes you laugh -- they're vital. Both of our guests today brought home a lot from the conference, for themselves and their communities. With differing perspectives, and with the different communities they minister to, our guests today describe a diversity and yet striking commonality to what they experienced at Lambeth -- a commonality that is enlightening. The Rt. Rev. Dr. Joseph Wandera is Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Mumias, Kenya, former professor at St. Paul's University, Limuru, and has served on various committees of the Anglican Communion, including Theological Education in the Anglican Communion (TEAC). The Rt. Rev. Jenny Andison is Rector at St. Paul's Bloor St. in Toronto. She's the former area Bishop of York-Credit Valley in the Diocese of Toronto and has served in Toronto for many years.

Dani Treweek joins Jonathan for a conversation about the place and role of sex and sexuality in contemporary Western cutlure. They examine Carl Trueman's work on the rise and triumph of the modern self, including expressive individualism, the psychologised self and the politicisation of sex. They then pivot to the place of marriage and singleness in the church, particularly against the backdrop of a culture so intent on defining humans by their sexual desires and encouraging their actualisation. Dr Dani Treweek is the founding director of Single Minded, a parachurch ministry which seeks to resource the Christian church with faithful biblical teaching about singleness. Her book, The Meaning of Singleness, is being published by IVP in 2023. She is ordained as a deacon and serves as the Research Officer and a member of the Archbishop's Doctrine Commission within the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, Australia The Political Animals is hosted by Dr Jonathan Cole, an academic, writer, speaker and translator specialising in political theology: the intersection of religion and politics.

The Consecration of The Rev. Alex Cameron as the Next Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh

Church discipline is a much-neglected topic in the modern church. However, the Scriptures suggest it is needed for the good of the church and because Christians are called to love people caught in sin. How do we apply the biblical principles of church discipline to the modern church? What can we do at earlier points to ensure that more drastic church discipline is not required? Furthermore, how does our understanding of the danger of abusing power imbalances change the process of discipline? In this episode of the Centre for Christian Living podcast, we hear audio from a June event run by our partner centre, the Priscilla & Aquila Centre. Phil Colgan, rector of St George North Anglican Church, and Kara Hartley, Archdeacon for Women's Ministry in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, discuss the difference between Big “D” discipline and small “d” discipline, and the implications that has for church life.

As the first words of this chapter say: "This Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of democracy in South Africa. It enshrines the rights of all people in our country and affirms the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom." It has also been the source of the majority of the groundbreaking rulings the Constitutional Court has handed down.

The CPK created the state of Democratic Kampuchea in 1976 and ruled the country until January 1979. The party's existence was kept secret until 1977, and no one outside the CPK knew who its leaders were (the leaders called themselves “Angkar Padevat”). While the Khmer Rouge was in power, they set up policies that disregarded human life and produced repression and massacres on a massive scale. They turned the country into a huge detention center, which later became a graveyard for nearly two million people, including their own members and even some senior leaders. http://www.reyum.org/ (Reyum Institute of Arts and Culture: ) Reyum was a non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to Cambodian arts and culture.
