From the Secretary General...
For the last eleven years, George Carey has served the Church of England
with distinction as the Archbishop of Canterbury. For seven and a half of
those eleven years it has been my honour to work with the Archbishop as
the Secretary General of the Anglican Communion. From
this unique vantage point I have seen the Archbishop
make enormous sacrifices for those in the Communion as
he has supported the voiceless and those who are
oppressed. At the same time, the Archbishop has
influenced and challenged the corridors of power as he
has touched the lives of decision makers, both in England
and throughout the Anglican Communion.
While the Archbishop of Canterbury joins the Pope
and the Ecumenical Patriarch as one of the major church
leaders in the world, George Carey, has throughout his
tenure as the Archbishop of Canterbury, dedicated
himself to his multi-faceted ministry and especially in his commitment to the
Anglican Communion. No Archbishop of Canterbury has logged as many miles
on aeroplanes to make pastoral visits in the Communion. It has been my privilege
to be with the Archbishop on many historic occasions and as we thank both him
and Mrs Carey, I would like to share a few reflections.
How can I ever forget the meeting the Archbishop called at the end of October
1994 at the Old Palace in Canterbury? I had been elected Secretary General, but
had not yet assumed that responsibility from my distinguished predecessor,
Canon Sam Van Culin. The Archbishop and Mrs Carey had just returned home
from their second visit to the Sudan and the Archbishop was frustrated because
he did not have the economic resources at his disposal to support the ministry of
the Sudan. He called half a dozen of us together to brainstorm how the Anglican
Communion could be better funded to enable it to carry out its ministry and also
respond to places in the Communion like the Sudan. Out of that meeting came
two new instruments: the Anglican Investment Agency, which supports the
Archbishop of Canterbury’s Anglican Communion Fund; and the Compass Rose
Society, two vital structures that will benefit the life of the Communion for future
generations. The Anglican Communion thanks you, Archbishop, for securing
these structures for decades to come.
How can I ever forget the first Primates Meeting after the Lambeth Conference
1998? That meeting was held in Porto, Portugal, and the Primates were struggling
to keep the unity of the Communion, particularly in light of Resolution I.10 on
Human Sexuality that had been passed at the Lambeth Conference. It was
Sunday evening, the first draft of the Pastoral Letter had been distributed and,
quite bluntly, no one was satisfied. The Archbishop came to the Secretariat and
asked me, “John, can I use a computer?” For the next couple of hours, the
Archbishop worked on a draft of the Pastoral Letter which was accepted the next
day by all of the Primates. The Anglican Communion thanks you, Archbishop, for
working so hard to maintain its unity during these turbulent times.
How can I ever forget the Archbishop of Canterbury joining the Holy Father
and Archbishop Athanasios representing the Ecumenical Patriarch, (Anglican
World Easter 2000) as they opened the Holy Door at St Paul’s Outside the Walls
in Rome during the Jubilee Year. The story I related in Anglican World in which
the Archbishop said it took all three Church leaders to open the Holy Door
demonstrates the Archbishop’s commitment to work ecumenically in the most
incredible way. We can no longer do it alone. Before September 11 the
Archbishop had established interfaith dialogue with Muslims, but since
September 11 has worked tirelessly in interfaith relations, culminating in the
agreement signed at Lambeth with the Grand Mufti of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif. He
also brought together the Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious leaders in
Alexandria to find a way for peace in the Middle East, particularly in Palestine
and Israel. The Anglican Communion thanks you, Archbishop, for your
dedication to ecumenical and interfaith relations in the global village in which we
all live.
Indeed the Anglican Communion thanks you, Archbishop George, for your
leadership and for the support you have given to us over these last eleven years.
No one in the Anglican Communion has more demanding responsibilities, but
you have always found time to be present and supportive. The legacy you leave
indicates your own personal commitment to mission and evangelism. In thanking
you, and Mrs Carey, we assure you of our affection and our prayers for a holy
and blessed retirement. Both of you deserve it. Both of you have our gratitude
and love. God bless both of you.

Welsh Primate to
lead Anglican World
by James M Rosenthal and Matthew Davies

Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
Rowan Williams, born in Swansea
in 1950, has been one of the names
often mentioned as a possible
successor to the Archbishop of
Canterbury since the retirement of Dr
George Carey was announced in January
this year. A respected theologian, Dr
Williams has written a number of books
on the history of theology and
spirituality and has been involved in
various commissions on theological
education, both in his province and
beyond. He is the author of many wellknown
books including the recently
published Love’s Redeeming Work
(Oxford). He was elected a Fellow of the
British Academy in 1990 and is
Chairman of the Trialogue Conference,
which brings together professionals from
the worlds of Spirituality, Psychotherapy
and Literature.
Dr Williams was elected Bishop of
Monmouth in 1991 and enthroned as
Archbishop of Wales in 2000. Since then
he has gained enormous support for his
leadership and his handling of some of
the more controversial decisions facing
the Anglican Communion today.
Distinguished as being Professor of
Divinity at Oxford Universitiy, Dr
Williams is now the first Archbishop of
Canterbury to be selected from outside
the Church of England since the
Reformation.
According to the Bishop’s website he
is “both a contemporary and rigorously
intellectual thinker, recently citing the
cartoon ‘The Simpsons’ as an example of
humility and moral debate. He has
attracted a lot of media attention in
relation to his radical views on both
homosexuals in the church and
church/state relations.”
In his Presidential address to the
Church in Wales’ Governing Body, the
Archbishop spoke from the perspective
of one who was within a few hundred
yards of the World Trade Center in New
York when the terrorist attacks took
place. He called on all to consider the
nature of power and helplessness and to
remember that the only certainty is that
“a faithful God holds us firmly in life
and death alike.”
“No ‘Star Wars’ shield of missile
defence could have averted last

Garth Hewitt of the Amos Trust introduces Archbishop Williams to the crowd at Greenbelt, August 2002
Tuesday’s atrocities. No intensive
campaign to search and destroy in
Afghanistan will guarantee that it will
never happen again. If we fear and
loathe terrorism, we have to think
harder. Indiscriminate terror is the
weapon of the weak, not the strong; it’s
commonly what the ‘strong’ aren’t
expecting, which is why they are
vulnerable to it. It is the weapon of those
who have nothing to lose. If we want it
not to happen, we have to be asking
what it means that the world has so
many people in it who believe they have
nothing to lose.”
He also said, “Anger always blurs the
real human features of those we’re angry
with. Frustration requires that we don’t
allow ourselves to imagine what it’s like
to be the other... The two fears, the two
angers, don’t connect.”
The address ends by his stressing the
importance of faith in our understanding
and acceptance of death, “The Church is
supposed to be a community of people
you’d be glad to die with…and if that is
true about the Church, then faith
becomes the one wholly inflexible
ground for resistance to violence,
precisely because it teaches us how to
face death - not in excited expectation of
reward, but in the sober letting-go of our
fantasies in the sure hope that a faithful
God hold us firmly in life and death
alike. Only if we are learning in this way
how to die and to love, can anything we
say have any way in weight in a violent
world.”
News of his appointment to the
historic See of Canterbury has brought a
plethora of responses and good wishes
from around the Anglican Communion:
Speaking from Ireland, the
Archbishop of Armagh, the Most Revd
Robin Eames, said, “I believe that Rowan
Williams will bring to the leadership of
the Anglican Communion: scholarship;
integrity; and sensitivity. His deep
spirituality will provide a firm
foundation for the many diverse issues
which will confront us in the years to
come. As senior primate I welcome him
to his new office and wish him God’s
richest blessings.”
On hearing the news, the Most Revd
Njongonkulu Ndungane, Archbishop of
Cape Town, said, “We thank God for the
gift of a man who has great depth of
spirituality, an incisive mind and a
pastoral heart. He makes Anglican
history as the first Archbishop of
Canterbury who comes from outside the
traditional ranks and it bodes well for
the bonds of affection that bind our
global communion, as does his track
record for leadership on issues of our
day.”
The Presiding Bishop and Primate of
the ECUSA, the Most Revd Frank T
Griswold, also issued a statement to
ACNS, “I am very pleased with the
appointment of Rowan Williams to be
the next Archbishop of Canterbury. He is
well known and highly respected across
the Anglican Communion, in ecumenical
circles, and here in the United States.
The combination of a keen mind and a
contemplative heart, together with an
ability to relate classical Christian
tradition to the needs and struggles of
our world, make him eminently
qualified to take up this important and
challenging ministry of service.”
Vice-Chairman of the Anglican
Consultative Council, Presiding Bishop
John C Paterson, told ACNS, “I look
forward to working with the new
Archbishop, who is already well known
and highly respected in many parts of
the Anglican Communion for his
scholarship, for his commitment to the
service of our Lord and for his already
proven gifts of leadership in the Church.
This is undoubtedly the right
appointment from the perspective of the
Anglican Communion at this critical
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
time in its development.”
The Rt Revd Leo Frade, Bishop of
Southeast Florida, spoke of his personal
encounter with Dr Williams during the
Lambeth Conference 1998. He said, “I
had the pleasure of meeting Archbishop
Rowan Williams during Lambeth ‘98 as
we dealt with World Debt issues.
“I believe that he carries a vision that
not only will be a blessing for the church
in the British Isles but for Anglicans in
all continents of this planet. I am assured
that Archbishop Williams will be a voice
that will effectively and unashamedly
proclaim the love and justice of our Lord
Jesus Christ and will make our church
relevant in this new century.”
Dean Ross Jones of St George’s
College, Jerusalem, told ACNS, “The
Church in Jerusalem is excited by the
selection of Archbishop Rowan Williams
as the next Archbishop of Canterbury.
God has provided the right man at the
right time. Thanks be to God!”
Clergy from the Church of England
have responded warmly to the news of
the appointment. Father Philip Chester,
St Matthew’s, Westminster, London,
home of Affirming Catholicism,
expressed great joy at the news. Fr
Chester said, “I warmly welcome the
appointment of Dr Rowan Williams. His
vision, holiness and humility are the
greatest encouragement to parish clergy
who pray that the Church of England
will open its windows to the world and
discover a new spring time of God’s
grace.”
“We are friends and Christian
brothers, “ said Archbishop Peter
Akinola of Nigeria speaking of the
Archbishop-designate. “I wish him well.
My hope is that he will prove his
detractors wrong. I respect him, he is a
well learned man of God and I look
forward to sharing in his ministry for us
all.”

Canterbury during the Primates meeting.

Your Holiness, Beloved Brother in
Christ, it gives me great pleasure
to greet you once again in the
name of our common Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. This is my sixth and last
visit to you as Archbishop of Canterbury,
and I am glad to have the opportunity to
meet you again before I lay down my
office. During the last eleven years I
have been aware of the growing
closeness, mutual affection and respect
between our churches, and this has
found expression in a number of deep
friendships. I have been grateful, Your
Holiness, for your prayers and the
warmth of your welcome on the several
occasions that my wife and I have
visited you.
I am thankful for this opportunity to
pay tribute to your ministry as Father in
God for the vast family of Catholics in
Communion with the See of Peter. Your
great courage, wisdom and holiness of
life have touched and inspired Christians

Text of a formal Greeting to Pope John Paul II from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr George Carey, given at the Vatican on 21st June 2002
Courage,Wisdom and
throughout the world. You have
strengthened your brethren, as our Lord
commanded Saint Peter, and you have
carried this ministry to many places and
to countless people. Your invitation to
Church leaders and theologians to
engage with you in a patient and
fraternal dialogue about the Petrine
ministry has made it possible for us to
reflect on ways in which a Primacy of
love and service could be a gift to share.
While we are not yet in the full
communion to which the Lord calls us, I
rejoice in our shared baptismal faith and
the growth in fellowship between our
two churches.
Yesterday I met some of my other
friends here, in the Pontifical Councils
for the Promotion of Christian Unity and
for Inter-Religious Dialogue. We have
continued conversations about matters
of shared concern, not just relationships
between our churches but areas in which
we are already working closer together.

MICHAELMAS 2002
As a sign of the progress in
relationships in my own country, earlier
this month I signed a covenant with
other church leaders in England,
including my dear friend Cardinal
Cormac Murphy O’Connor. We
committed ourselves to work towards
the visible unity of the Church of Jesus
Christ in the one faith, expressed in
common discipleship, worship, witness
and service. On a wider level, I am
encouraged by the continuing work of
the Anglican-Roman Catholic
International Commission, and the
degree of fundamental agreement
between our churches on so many
aspects of our faith that the Commission
has identified and articulated. I am glad
that you and I have been able to
inaugurate the International Anglican-
Roman Catholic Commission for Unity
and Mission, and I look forward to the
fruits of the work in bringing our degree
of theological convergence into practical

Holiness
The Archbishop of Canterbury and his party greet His Holiness John Paul II in the Vatican
outcomes which will enrich the lives of
our churches. The work of these bodies
is bringing us closer to the full visible
unity which we seek in Christ’s name.
As a sign of the hospitality which we
are able to offer each other, I am
especially grateful for the welcome given
to the exhibition Anglicanism and the
Western Christian Tradition, organised
by Her Majesty’s Ambassador and the
Dean and Chapter of Norwich, and now
being displayed in the Salone Sistina.
This illustrates the tradition we share,
and some of the historical events which
have coloured our past relationships.
Since the historic visit of my predecessor,
Archbishop Michael Ramsey in 1966, the
Anglican Centre has been established as
a sign and a means of our commitment
to each other, and to growth in mutual
understanding and fellowship.
One of the major figures in that shared
tradition is my predecessor St Anselm,
thirty-sixth Archbishop of Canterbury. As
monk, abbot and archbishop; statesman,
theologian and philosopher he made a
profound and enduring contribution to
the life of the Church. It gives me great
pleasure to present you with this study
of his life and work.

Quotes from the Archbishop of
Canterbury during the visit:
“ I was greatly moved by this my last
visit to His Holiness John Paul II. The
strength of his words and the authority
with which he spoke gives me great
hope for the continuing journey in
ecumenism to which we are both so
committed.”
“ I personally am grateful for his
affectionate welcome today to me and
my wife, along with Bishop Garrard, my
representative to the Holy See and my
party. I truly felt a strong sense of
brotherly support, as we have once
again pledged to work for peace with
justice, in the troubled world.”
“ I am grateful to God for the
ecumenical advances realised during
my time as Archbishop.”
“ The welcome for the substantial
exhibition on view in the Salone Sistina
on Anglicanism is a visible sign of the
Vatican’s hospitality.”

Lost Icons: Reflections on Cultural
Bereavement captures the reflective style
and original thinking of one of today’s
most visionary religious leaders. The
104th Archbishop of Canterbury,
Rowan Williams, laments the loss of
long-accepted behavioral and relational
norms—icons—that in their absence
have left society rudderless. Williams
identifies, interprets, and defends the
lost cultural icons as crucial for the soul
of a society and its ability to be interconnected.
“Those who are already familiar with
the writings of Rowan Williams will
know of his gift of taking the ordinary
stuff of human experience and opening

LAUSANNE 75
the search for justice and peace
It is right that today we should gather
to celebrate the First World
Conference held in Lausanne in 1927.
That meeting saw so clearly the necessity
of expressing agreement in faith if
churches were to come together and stay
together in mission and service to God’s
world. The meeting identified an agenda
on which agreement was deemed to be
required for the unity of the church and
it made advances in understanding by
comparing positions held by the
different churches in some of those areas.
So, Lausanne began an ecumenical
theological conversation which has
gathered momentum in the last 75 years,
in multilateral conversations within the
Faith and Order Commission of the
World Council of Churches and also
outside the World Council in the many
bilateral discussions which have
blossomed, particularly with the entry
The International choir at Lausanne Cathedral for the Faith and Order celebration of the World Council of Churches
into the conversation of the Roman
Catholic Church after Vatican II. We
rightly celebrate the fruits of the
conversations; the convergences, even
consensus, reached between churches in
areas that were causes of division and
which once seemed intractable. And we
can celebrate the fact that this theological
conversation has gone on in an ever
more inclusive circle and amidst
increasingly friendly relationships of

Catholic Church
trust and confidence. The conversation
has continued, together with the other
crucial endeavours of the one
ecumenical movement: shared mission;
education; witness; the search together
in this broken world for justice and
peace; for the overcoming of violence;
and for the establishment of an inclusive
and participatory community.
But what we can also celebrate is the
fact that the theological conversation
begun at Lausanne, has, and still is,
having an effect. It has and is making a
difference to the lives of churches in
more ways than most of us here
probably realise. The ecclesial landscape
has changed, and is changing and we
can celebrate this today as a direct result
of the meeting that took place here in
Lausanne so many years ago. The results
of the faith and order conversation
begun here in 1927 are affecting the
internal lives of the churches and also
their relationships with one another,
making possible a more credible
common witness and service. What we
celebrate today is so much more than
paper agreements, a line of impressive
documents on library shelves.
I can testify to the changes that have
taken place in my own church, the
Church of England, that would never
have happened without the fruit of
ecumenical conversation. Baptism,
Eucharist and Ministry (BEM) provided
a theological basis for the passing of new
Ecumenical Canons which govern the
degree of shared life, eucharistic
hospitality and shared ministry that is
now enjoyed in many local ecumenical
partnerships in towns and villages in
England. BEM provided a firm charter
for change in the local context. The
ministry text of BEM has also helped us
to see the importance of renewing the
diaconate and helped us to give account
of apostolic succession; its eucharistic
text has informed the revision of our
eucharistic prayers. Such internal
renewal, prompted by ecumenical texts,
has had the effect of moving us closer to
one another, making our lives more
compatible. That is not to say it creates a
bland uniformity of Christian life. Rather
it unites us in the things that are
required and provides a firm basis on
which diversity can flourish.
The theological conversation has also
made a difference by providing
documents that act as instruments to
draw churches into closer relations with
one another. In Europe, for example,
Reformed and Lutherans have come
together in the Leuenberg Agreement;
the Evangelical Church in Germany and
the Church of England have entered a
relation of closer fellowship on the way
to visible unity in the Meissen
Agreement; the French Reformed and
Lutheran churches with the Anglican
churches of Britain and Ireland have
entered a similar relationship through
the Reuilly Agreement; Anglicans of
Britain and Ireland with Nordic and
Baltic Lutheran Churches have come into
communion, the Porvoo Communion,
Anglicans and Moravians have entered a
new relation through the Fetter Lane
Agreement. These new’ relations in
Europe have their counterparts in full
communion agreements in Canada, the
USA, Southern Africa and Australia.
And more agreements are on the table,
the ones between Methodists and
Anglicans in England and Ireland.
Roman Catholics with Anglicans are
looking at the results of the theological
faith and order conversation and asking
themselves what new forms of
committed life and mission ought to be
lived together on the basis of ‘substantial
agreement in faith’ reached in Baptism,
Eucharist and Ministry and in the agreed
statements of the Anglican-Roman
Catholic conversation. Each of the new
relationships of communion, or closer
fellowship on the way to visible unity,
are based upon the fruits of the
ecumenical conversations begun at
Lausanne. The real prize of all of this is
that churches together are a more
convincing sign of that reconciliation
that God intends for the whole of
creation. The sign of Christian
An African male choir sang at the service
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
reconciliation shows that by God’s grace
it is possible to reconcile the bitterest of
memories: it is possible, even for those
who once burned one another at the
stake, to be reconciled, and these acts of
reconciliation form in us a people
inclined to reconciliation. These new
relationships are a response to ~ Jesus’
prayer that they all may be one, so that
the world may believe - the text that
inspired the First World Conference.
So, what we can celebrate today is the
fact that the fruits of the theological
conversation that began at Lausanne in
1927 have been used by churches as
instruments of internal reform and
renewal. They have also provided
building blocks on which the churches
have been able to build new
relationships. Without the intensive
theological conversation of dedicated
theologians, together with the openness
of churches to receive those
convergences, these new relations of
closer communion would not have been
possible. What a legacy and way
forward Lausanne opened for us. How
very right it is that we should celebrate
the First World Conference on Faith and
Order, with the solid results of the
theological conversations that flowed
from it and those new relationships of
communion and steps on the way to a
communion in faith life and witness that
the theological conversation made
possible. The theological conversation
has helped to make a difference. May
these celebrations inspire our churches
to continue the theological conversation
with the same passion that motivated
those gathered at Lausanne in 1927. May
these celebrations challenge our
churches to ask what renewal and
reform could take place in their own
lives and what changes in relationships
could take place, on the basis of the
theological convergence that has been
achieved. To intensify the reception
process of the fruits of the faith and
order conversation would be the most
appropriate way of celebrating Lausanne
and the difference it has already had.

hope
AIDS statement from Anglican
Archbishop of Cape Town,
Njongonkulu Ndungane
Passing through London I was
horrified by newspaper headlines
stating that the average life
expectancy in Africa will soon be only 26
years. The same UNAIDS report that
made such alarming news around the
world warns that the AIDS pandemic is
yet to peak - we haven’t seen the worst
of it yet!
For those of us who attended the
AIDS 2002 Conference in Barcelona, the
message was loud and clear - the time
for talk and political prevarication is
over. The public and private sectors
work alone at their peril and
collaborative strategies are imperative.
The key challenges are to change
behavioural patterns and to eradicate the
stigma that makes it so difficult for
people to seek the help they need.
Above all we dare not lose hope. We

cannot allow ourselves to be paralysed by despair and I am
greatly concerned by subsequent reports that Barcelona killed
that hope. On the contrary, many of us have been re-enthused
to work ever harder at facilitating a generation without AIDS
and many entrenched negative assumptions were refuted.
Besides encouraging news about developments in vaccines,
we had the likes of Harvard economist, Dr Jeffrey Sachs
presenting convincing arguments against the constant whine
that broad-based treatment is too expensive for most
governments. He pointed out that with incentives and an eager
public-private partnership, whole communities can be treated
and maintain a level of wellness,
heretofore unimagined. All we need
is the political will and
commitment by both the public
and private sectors.
There are already
reassuring pockets of
success. In the
global South,
Thailand has
turned the
AIDS tide by
aggressive
prevention,
and access to
treatment
and dramatic
reduction of
stigma and
discrimination
against people
living with AIDS.
AIDS is not a shameful
word in the households of Uganda.
Consequently, people come forward quickly for treatment
and support. They have reduced the spread of HIV
infection by using condoms and knowing their HIV
antibody status.
Similarly, Brazil reports a dramatic drop in the number of
AIDS related deaths, and has cut the average cost of treatment
per patient by half. This was achieved by the establishment of
domestic laboratories, which now produce eight of the 15
antiretrovirals used in that country.
For so long the world has been swayed by arguments
regarding the cost of extending treatment beyond those who
have privately funded healthcare. Yet Dr Peter Piot, director of
UNAIDS, argues, also very convincingly, that to not spend
precious resources on antiretroviral treatment for the masses
will, in the long run, prove a false economy.
Here in South Africa we have pharmaceutical companies
that, in the wake of the Treatment Action Campaign’s
momentous legal victory, are poised to begin making low-cost
life saving medications. All they need is a nod from the
government. We have Global Funds made available to
KwaZulu Natal because, despite dire predictions, the
government was prepared to cut red tape.
We also have conclusive proof that it is possible to change
behaviour. While AIDS was mistakenly viewed as a gay disease
more than a decade ago, we now know that this was a false
assumption. Today less than a million of the 22 million people
who have died from AIDS were gay. Part of the reason why the
numbers dropped so dramatically was because the gay
community was quicker than any other to de-stigmatise the
disease, speak frankly about sex, and encourage and support
the use of condoms.
In short, we are faced with the possible. It is not time to give
up, but time for all sectors to rise above their agendas. For the
good of those already living with HIV or AIDS and for future
generations we need action now.
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
I do not ask those who are out of sync with the commonly
held beliefs regarding HIV and AIDS, to change their opinion.
What I do expect is that they accept their responsibilities within
the framework of democratic principles i.e. to work within
universal norms. We are told that we have one of the best
national AIDS strategies in the world. I find huge hope and
solace in that. What we need now is speedy implementation
and an equally speedy response to the findings of the
Constitutional Court regarding Nevirapine and the plan
already in place to establish pilot sites to establish the realities
of making antiretrovirals available in the public health sector.
I believe our Government has the power, as much for the
survival of millions of citizens of
this country as for the sake of
NEPAD to enthuse and
encourage our nation. I
know that it has much to
draw on from Barcelona.
Even as I call on
Government to act I
acknowledge that it is
unrealistic to ask it
to carry the
whole load. I
offer
a committed
strategic
“Partnership
for Life” on
behalf of the
more than 70 million
Anglicans
worldwide, who
have commissioned
me to drive
a programme
that is working
towards a
“Generation without
AIDS”.
We do not have
huge amounts of
money but we do reach
deep into every community.
We are often
located where there is no
Post Office or electricity and
we acknowledge our own
responsibility in the AIDS
arena.
I extend my hand and heart to
government in this partnership. The
leaders of this nation must collaborate, and speak as one, and
together build on the dreams and hopes for our people. We
must eliminate the fear fuelled by misinformation and
dithering about response and responsibility. We must unite in a
stand for hope.
Besides us Anglicans there are others that Government
knows it can count on. COSATU, TAC, business and industry,
people like Clem Sunter, people living with AIDS, international
donors and faith leaders across the nation all stand ready to
join this “Partnership for Life”.
The time is absolutely ripe for an interdisciplinary approach
and the liberation of enslaved minds.

Children find haven of peace in Texas
Thomas Blanton
Adozen Christian, Jewish and Muslim
children escaped the violence of life in
the Middle East in an effort to build
friendships and understanding that may
provide a beacon of hope for peace in the
future. And they found that opportunity in
July at Camp Allen in the Diocese of Texas.
Kids4Peace is an extension of the work of
Henry Carse, director of special programs at
StGeorge’s College in Jerusalem, and his wife
Anne who have been active in adult education
and interfaith dialogue groups to promote
tolerance and listening. Kids4Peace was a
natural extension of the “ sheer weight of the
fear shared by Israelis and Palestinians,”
Henry Carse said, adding that he is convinced
that the initiative will improve communication
and understanding. “ We have a chance to
touch future leaders while they are still
forming opinions.”
Mr Carse believes that “ rather than trying to
find a political solution to a religious
squabble, we need to find new ways of
communication from within the religious
traditions.” In Israel the children regularly
visit sites sacred to the three religions as a
way to encourage discussion and build
respect. “ We tell them these are all houses of
God - and they are open to everyone,” said
the Revd Suheil Dawani, pastor at St George’s
Cathedral and one of the sponsors for the
July trip to America.
Troubled place for kids
Although the Kids4Peace children were
special guests at Camp Allen, the diocesan
14
retreat center near Navasota, they joined a
regular camp session and enjoyed the
experiences offered to other campers -
swimming, horseback riding, hiking, crafts
and even a gusty electrical storm that scared
those not accustomed to unpredictable
summer weather in Texas.
“ At the beginning of the week, the kids were
staying in the lakeside cabins with their
sponsors,” said George Dehan, president of
Camp Allen. Yet as the week progressed they
chose to join the rest of the campers. At the
end of the week, they put on a special
program for the rest of the camp. Crowded
around a lakeside campfire at dusk, campers
sat enthralled as the Palestinian and Israeli
children performed traditional Middle Eastern
dances to their own music. Festivities
included a traditional Middle Eastern feast
with hummus, tabouli and dolmades prepared
by the Kids4Peace children and their
sponsors.
Na’ama, a girl from Jerusalem, spoke simply
but eloquently about the struggles she and
her friends face daily. “ If you watch the news,
you know that adults in the Middle East are
having a hard time,” she said. “ The kids are
having a hard time, too. Muslims, Christians
and Jews don’t have to fight. We can get
along very well with each other.”
Mission of peace
In the face of the disintegrating political
situation and escalating violence, Henry Carse
said that he asked Kids4Peace advisors to
identify families with different backgrounds
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
that would be willing to participate in the
adventure. Once the children were selected, it
was necessary to find a peaceful place to
come together, far away from the violence
and strife. Friends suggested Camp Allen and
the travel costs were generously underwritten
by an anonymous benefactor from the
diocese.
“ This is an incredible example of how a vision
to reach out opens possibilities beyond our
imagination,” said Bishop Claude E. Payne,
bishop of Texas and president of the
American Friends of the Diocese of
Jerusalem. “ Not only were we able to offer a
place of rest and recreation for those
exceptional children but they were also a gift
to us.”
According to Dawani, follow-up activities are
planned to maintain contact among the
children so that bonds of trust and friendship
- beyond religion and culture - will continue to
strengthen throughout their lives. “ We hope
and pray that our first experience in bringing
Israeli and Palestinian children together will
not be the last but a step in the right
direction,” he said.
Eleven-year-old Luban, a girl from Jerusalem,
echoed the sentiment. “ We have come here
as one group. When we go back to Jerusalem
we will continue our mission of peace.”

Standing Commission on Mission and
Evangelism pursues policy of encouragement
The Revd Ian T Douglas, Ph.D.
in the Anglican
Communion is where it is at.”
“Mission
said Miss Marjorie Murphy, the
Director of Mission and Evangelism in the
Anglican Communion Office. “ We are
continually surprised by the many wonderful
ways Anglicans around the world are coming
together in faithfulness to God’s mission.”
Miss Murphy was reflecting on the most
recent meeting of the Inter-Anglican Standing
Commission on Mission and Evangelism
(IASCOME) in St Andrews, Scotland, from 15
to 24 June. IASCOME is mandated by the
Anglican Consultative Council to advance and
promote mission and evangelism efforts
around the Anglican Communion. The twenty
one members of the Commission, from every
corner of the globe, meet annually in different
churches of the Anglican Communion to learn
about and support Anglicans in mission.
In Scotland the Commission heard about the
pains and possibilities of Anglicans in such
diverse places as the Sudan, Nigeria, the
Philippines, Canada and the Solomon Islands.
Particular attention was paid to the question
of how to pursue God’s mission of
reconciliation in the face of religious
persecution or political and economic
oppression. “ There are no easy answers… ”
said the Rt Revd Sebastian Bakare, Bishop of
Manicaland, Zimbabwe, and Chair of the
Commission, “ and there is no one way to be
faithful to God’s call to mission. But coming
16
together, to communicate the joys and
difficulties of our various contexts, builds
unity and solidarity. For me, sharing the story
of our troubles in Zimbabwe at this time helps
us to know we are not alone.”
It has become the custom for the
Commission to meet in different Anglican
churches around the world in order to witness
local expressions of mission and evangelism.
In Scotland, IASCOME learned about the
exciting and successful renewal programme
of the Scottish Episcopal Church called
Mission 21. After a traditional Highland
Celebration, the Commissioners fanned out to
the seven dioceses of the Scottish Episcopal
Church to encounter mission efforts in
various parishes around the country.
IASCOME reviewed many programmes and
projects related to mission and evangelism
around the Communion. The recent gathering
of Provincial Evangelism Officers in Nairobi,
Kenya on 6-13 May, sponsored by IASCOME,
was heralded as a landmark event in the life
of the Communion. Other important projects
reviewed by the Commissioners included: the
Conference for Mission Organisations
‘Transformation and Tradition in Global
Mission’; the inaugural meeting of the
International Network of Parish-based
Missiologists; steps taken towards a network
of Anglican Contextual Theologians; and a
plan for a Global Anglicanism Project
designed to study the vitality of mission
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
efforts in various churches around the
Anglican Communion. Commenting on these
and other such ventures, Chairman Bakare
said, “ Our policy is not one of gate-keeping
but rather support and encouragement.
Networking the many and various ways
Anglicans are involved in mission and
evangelism around the world is the work of
our Commission and the hope of the
Communion.”
The Commission concluded its meeting by
preparing an Interim Report on its work for
the upcoming twelfth meeting of the Anglican
Consultative Council in Hong Kong in
September. The Report included work so far
on: Equipping and formation for mission;
Islam and Islamisation; Developing
Anglicanism: A Communion in Mission;
Mission as Peace and Justice and Money
Power and Christian mission.

most comically audacious
Mother in the universe.” That
“The
was how a miffed Archbishop
of Canterbury of the day summed her
up.
He was not accustomed to dealing
with women of such determined mettle,
so robustly resolute, and so busy with
unsanctioned initiative. For she was
something of a proconsul in a nun’s
habit - a proconsul whose province was
the poor and whose reach was half the
globe. Audacious she certainly was.
Comic she was not, but it is possible the
Archbishop was using a euphemism for
something stronger. A visionary, yes. But
a practical visionary. For what she
dreamed of she set about to create and
what she created bore the stamp of her
organisational skills and doughty
willpower. And her motto could well
have been the maxim: it is better to light
a candle than curse the darkness. Many
candles she was to light, quite a few of
which are still burning.
She was a Victorian. Born the year
before Queen Victoria began her reign,
1836, she died a year before it ended,
1900. Yet she was a Victorian with a
difference. For in that distinctly man’s
world, where the woman’s role was to
defer to the male, Mother Emily
followed her own inner voices even
when they earned her an Archbishop’s
disfavour.
The daughter of an Anglican vicar in
Chester, England, Emily Ayckbowm was
fascinated as a child with the abbesses of
the early Middle Ages whose lives were
a ministry to the poor. In her late 20s she
dreamed of founding an Anglican
Sisterhood devoted to the victims of
Victorian poverty. For that kind of
venture it was the best of times and the
worst of times. On the one hand, by the
1860s the Catholic Revival was moving
to a momentum that would change the
temperament and symbolism of the
Church of England for ever. The return
of the religious orders epitomised its
spiritual and social vitality.
On the other hand, as Sisterhoods
began to multiply so did their suspicious
critics. Many of them were vehement,
some of them, on occasion, violent. They
presumed that the Sisterhoods were part
of a Papal plot to destabilise the pure
Anglo-Saxon Protestantism of the
20

Sisters of the Church

Church of England. But none but the
wilfully blind could fail to notice the
Sisters’ heroic, life-risking compassion
among the so called “lower orders”
during the repeated outbreaks of disease
that plagued Victorian Britain. Even
bishops uneasy about “Romish
innovations” found themselves
tolerating the Sisterhoods. After all, these
committed women were reaching many
of the hitherto unreachable poor, giving
them Christian hope, and, in the larger
reckoning, helping to save the society
from social upheaval. But if they had to
have the Sisters, the bishops wanted
them under strict diocesan rein. A
bargain not many of the Sisterhoods
would be comfortable with.
While Emily was not a forerunner, she
became a frontrunner in the Sisterhood
thrust. In 1864 she founded an
organisation of innocuous name, the
Church Extension Association (CEA)
with the grand but vague objective of
“extending Christ’s kingdom upon
earth.” Supportive of struggling parishes
in destitute areas, the CEA soon became
the launching pad, and remained the
parent body, for the Sisterhood she had
in mind. But not before she had
gathered, with her compelling charisma,
an enthusiastic constituency of workers
and subscribers of largely middle class
means. A resourceful publicist, Emily
sired a quarterly newsletter to keep
members informed and their enthusiasm
aflame, the first of many publications to

issue from her inexhaustible pen. And
that pen was as mighty as the mightiest
pulpits.
It was her move from Chester to
London, in 1868, that brought her face to
face with the challenge she needed to
create the response she so desired. Her
airless, cramped quarters, between
Marylebone and Paddington, lay in one
of the toughest and most riotous
concentrations of the poor in London.
And the children, in their ragged misery,
showed every sign of neglect,
malnutrition and turbulent desperation.
Such wretchedness cried out for a
sensitive Christian response to bring an
enabling compassion to these hapless
urchins. And Emily felt the call to create
a new Sisterhood to do it. In 1870, she
received her habit as a novice of the
Sisters of the Church from an Anglo-
Catholic priest delighted to oblige . With
characteristic dispatch, by 1872, Emily
had progressed from Sister to Mother
Emily. By that year, a few other women
had come on board. They hailed from
comfortable middle class backgrounds,
well educated and well heeled, with an
abiding faith in God and abounding
energy to place at the service of the waifs
and strays. More women were to join,
usually of the same social origin. And as
monks and nuns did everywhere, they
took vows of poverty, chastity and
obedience.
In fact, Sisterhoods at this time were
serving a much-needed purpose:
providing sanctuaries from male
domination for strong-minded, dynamic
women with a hunger for challenging
work. Like the “Ritualist (Anglo-
Catholic) slum priests” who threw in
their lot with the poor and lived among
them, these Sisterhoods were wedded to
a social theology of the Incarnation.
There was no aspect of society, they
believed, outside the Almighty’s concern
and the disfigurement of the human,
caused by grinding poverty, was
unacceptable to the God who had taken
our nature upon Him. This conviction
flew in the face of the economic
orthodoxy of the age.
The Community of the Sisters of the
Church grew with apostolic elan. It
could not be otherwise with a leader like
Mother Emily, not one to be shackled by
the limits of the possible, marvellous in

motivating her Sisters to go beyond
those limits. Two and a half decades
after Emily put on the habit of a novice,
150 Sisters were educating poor children
and uplifting poor adults in the United
Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, India,
Burma, Australia and New Zealand.
Emily’s Sunday “Bun Schools”, begun
in 1868 before she became a nun, set the
pattern for what was to follow. To teach
the half-starved urchins she had to feed
them first. So a breakfast of hot tea and
large currant buns gave them an appetite
for the alphabet. And these unruly,
unkempt and unwashed children,
captivated by Emily’s radiant caring,
behaved like lambs in her presence.
They sang cheerful hymns, many
composed for them by her. They recited
her catchy catechisms, soon to be learned
by children in far-off Africa and India.
They were taught to read, and light
began to penetrate their darkened world.
God loved them, they were told; and
they were proud to be deemed so
precious. The “Bun Schools” began to be
widely talked about - sometimes
mockingly - and passed into the
Victorian vocabulary of compassion. One
admirer backhandedly commented that
the Community of the Sisters of the
Church “ was built on buns”.
The Bun Schools parented the day
schools. And once the momentum to
create them started it did not easily stop.
In 1873 a huge school, St Augustine’s,
opened its doors in Kilburn in northwest
London to girls and infants, 18 of
them who rapidly became 1500. Within
the next 20 years 5 of these ‘ragged
schools’ mushroomed, educating over
6000 slum kids, boys and girls, in other
desperate areas of London. In addition,
post-primary schools catering to the
upper reaches of the working class rose
under Emily’s hand in Liverpool, York
and Croydon.
Big undertakings were as essential to
Mother Emily as sustained prayer. And
since to pray was to listen to God whose
essence was ceaseless activity, strenuous
work was prayer in progress. Prayerful
work there was aplenty in these schools
as the nuns and their helpers both taught
the children and fed them. Wholesome
meals they got at a penny a day for those
who could manage it, a halfpenny for
those who could not. For those too
destitute for either, their presence was
their payment.
To have her schools officially
respected, Mother Emily made her
teaching nuns professionals. In 1870 the
Government had instituted qualifying
examinations for teachers. Mother Emily
and some of the Sisters, pioneers as ever,
were among the first women in Britain
to sit and pass those exams. Clearly, that
added to the rigour of the Sisters’ lives
with already so much to do. But it paid
A sister of the Holy Name in South Africa
off. The great Victorian intellectual and
Inspector of Schools, Matthew Arnold,
visited the early schools and was warm
in his approval. They continued to earn
good reports for the rest of the century
and beyond.
The Victorian Workhouse for the
destitute and orphans, even in the 1880s,
carried the whiff of a gulag: soullessly
hygienic; a foe to children’s spunk and
play; penitential when not punitive.
Emily created a warming contrast,
orphanages without gloom, where
parentless children could live in festive
surroundings, be given love and taught
to be useful to themselves. With a touch
of our own times, she cajoled rich
women to “adopt” individual orphans,
contributing generously to their upkeep,
treating them like family, giving them
birthday and Christmas gifts. Not a few
of those orphans later became
headmistresses of Church schools in the
20th century, where what the Sisters did
for them they in turn did for
disadvantaged children of their time.
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
The orphanages and the schools did
not come cheap. The bills were partly
footed by philanthropic aristocrats, and
wealthy middle class sympathisers. Yet
formidable debts remained a worry to
the Community, only to be paid off in
time by Emily’s genius for begging. She
was proving, in her magnetic way, that
the Lord loves a cheerful beggar as much
as a cheerful giver.
As behoves a practical visionary, she
knew how to capture the imagination of
others. The Pinafore Society founded in
1886 was a case in point. To involve
more well-to-do people in the upkeep of
the schools she appealed for donations
of brightly coloured pinafores to cover
the tatters of the poorer children -
donations to be sweetened by a
membership fee of one shilling a year. A
delighted public, from bottom to top,
bought the idea with generosity and
gusto. The Society’s 300 members in
1886 became 3000 by 1893 and the
children wore their pinafores with pride
and joy.

But Mother Emily’s fertile mind had
spawned yet another hefty venture: a
summer seaside resort for sickly children
from the slums. Broadstairs in Kent
became, in the early 1880’s, the site of a
handsome building - an architectural
hosanna- to house 300 kids. Never short
of insight, Emily knew that an
unrestricted sky, a fullness of light and a
limitless ocean - a world away from their
cramped, dark tenements - would work
their healing magic on the children. One
little Londoner, watching in wonder the
tide come in, exclaimed “Wot are they
shovin’ up all that water for?” The
Broadstairs building so fired the
imagination of the rich and titled that
the £60,000 it cost to erect were oversubscribed
by 1887 and it was opened by
a royal princess. Three similar sea-side
resorts were later to spring from Emily’s
imaginative energy.
The Sisters’ compassionate reach
extended beyond the children of poverty.
To the rough navvies building railway
extensions in North-West London in the
1880s the nuns were angels of mercy.
They built shelters against the cold for
the men, fed them when work was
suspended, created a coffee-house for
rest and meals, clothed them from public
appeals. The Sisters took similar services
to the hard-bitten proletariat of the
London and Hull docks. When some
100,000 London dockers went on a
month’s strike for better working
conditions in the mid 1880s, the Sisters
dared to feed a goodly number of them.
The dockers and the sailors, usually
22
spurned as “dregs”by the rest of society,
invariably responded with adoration and
unexpected gentleness to the nuns’
empathy and understanding.
In an age of distinct patriarchy a
personality like Mother Emily’s was
bound to give rise to critics and enemies.
She had two major strikes against her:
she was a woman and a nun. As a
woman she was too tremendous, too
tenacious, too self-directed for the likes
of certain circles in the Church of
England. As an Anglican nun she was,
for some, an embarrassing convenience;
for others an intrusion in a Reformation
Church. In addition, where nuns were
expected to be invisible, except to the
poor, and inaudible, except to their own
Order, Mother Emily was just the
opposite. She was immensely visible
through her creations, and soaringly
audible through her many publications.
Besides, she and her Sisters handled
sizeable sums of money, in an era when
women were generally held to be
conspicuously inadequate at so doing.
Hence the slightest errors in accounting
were seized on by her critics as evidence
of gross incapacity, or worse, abuse of
funds.
Mother Emily often experienced the
hostile misunderstandings visited on
those who dare to be ahead of their time.
Some of her attitudes were more of the
mid-20th century than of the late 19th.
She considered the prevailing distinction
between the “deserving poor” and the
“lazy poor” to have no relation to reality.
When faced with a starving navvy out of
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
work because construction had been
suspended, she fed him. When she
found working-men gravely underpaid
she made cheap meals available. Her
critics accused her of “indiscriminate
charity.”
Members of the Temperance League,
teetotallers all, one of whom became an
Archbishop of Canterbury, were
appalled by her: she allowed some of the
canteens run by her Sisters for
marginalised workers to provide a pint
of beer with a meal. With sound
psychology, Mother Emily felt that a
little beer with good food kept a
working man from too many beers with
no food. She outraged many church
people, one of them another Archbishop
of Canterbury, when she admitted
children born out of wedlock to her
orphanages, being more concerned about
the fate of the child than the sin of the
parents. And whereas Victorian society
invariably stigmatised the mothers,
Emily felt the fathers were more
deserving of such treatment.
Like so many great ground-breakers
Mother Emily could be imprudent.
Unwisely, she took the names of the
Archbishops of Canterbury and York off
the list of patrons of her Order at the
former’s insistence on an investigation
following the secession of a number of
Sisters. She certainly put too many of her
nuns at the risk of burnout because she
tended to generate more adrenaline than
the Order could comfortably contain. In
company with many other outstanding
visionaries and founders, her creative
and organisational gifts often outshone
her human management skills.
Yet Victorian society would have been
the poorer without her and her Sisters,
for they contributed to the early stages
of the emancipation of women by
challenging the paternal precepts of the
day. She encouraged her own gender to
address their spiritual needs and to
develop their abilities while serving the
social needs of the underprivileged. She
and her Community brought redeeming
hope to many too desperately poor to
have any sense of God and his love. She
also persuaded distinguished upper
class figures to see the poor as victims of
a social order and not simply as
creatures wilfully wallowing in sin and
shame. It took a strong measure of
creative audacity to achieve those things,
the results of which are still with us. And
the Order she founded continues to
work at helping the disadvantaged, the
victims of AIDS and other maladies, as
well as educating the young, in
Australia, the Solomon Islands, Canada,
and the United Kingdom.
Not for nothing has Mother Emily
been called “A Valiant Victorian”. And
she was, most certainly, an Audacious
Anglican and a hero of our Communion.

A Quest for Reality
The Presiding Bishop of the United States writes of the Anglican
Religious Life in the Anglican Religious Communities Yearbook,
published by Canterbury Press Norwich and available from
MARKET PLACE
The Most Revd Frank T Griswold, said:
A contemporary monastic writer has observed that Religious Life at
its core is a quest for reality. This brings to mind St Augustine’s
declaration that we are real only insofar as we exist in God’s order,
and God’s order exists in us. The life and disciplines of a Religious
community are therefore ordered to an ever increasing conformation
to reality as it is revealed in Christ, and worked in us by the Spirit.
While some with a limited knowledge of Religious Life might view it
as an escape from the rigors of real life, the opposite is in fact the
truth: the very structures and disciplines that comprise this response
to the gospel oblige those who embrace it to face their humanity in
all of its fierce immediacy. They must give room to Jesus’ declaration
that everything that is hidden will be brought out into the light in
order to be caught up into God’s work of reconciling all things to
himself in Christ.
Life in Christ, which is ours in baptism, as experienced in Religious
communities can serve as an exemplar for other persons of faith.
This life in Christ is a process of continuing unfoldment ordered by
the Spirit of truth. As such, it is an existence of discovery and growth
rooted in the paschal mystery of the Lord’s death and resurrection. It
is also a life with and for others, even when pursued alone in a
hermitage, because it is grounded in prayer: and prayer, by its very
nature, “ ones” us to God and to one another.
From Nicholas Ferrar’s establishment of communal life at Little
Gidding in the 17th century, through the recovery of formally vowed
Religious Life in the 19th century and into our own day, Religious
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
communities in the Anglican Communion have provided and
continue to provide a witness to the demands of the gospel that
challenge us all. Those who embrace vows of poverty, celibacy and
obedience, and the Benedictine variants of conversion of life and
stability - which is a commitment to stay in place and accept the fact
that the sisters and brothers God provides in community are for our
salvation - have much to teach all the baptized. Their very lives bring
them to a deep knowing of the paradox of self-denial that opens the
way to self-discovery, and self-limitation that becomes freedom.
It is therefore with deep gratitude to all who have embraced this way
of life. After the manner of the wise householder described by our
Lord in the gospel, may our Religious communities - in all their rich
variety - continue to bring out of the storehouse of their prayer,
common life and ministry, things both new and old to strengthen and
sustain us as we seek to live in fidelity to the demands of the gospel.

A new series featuring Anglican/Episcopal Schools and Colleges starts this issue with a look at Brent
International School in the Philippines
Schools of Life Compiled
The future of the Anglican
Communion is very much
grounded in the future of its
education. If we are not offered the
myriad of choices or given an
opportunity to deepen our
understanding of faith, love and hope,
this future could be threatened. This is
where our Anglican/Episcopal schools
and colleges play a most crucial part in
delivering the message to us from a
very early age. If we are not raised
with the knowledge that our love in
Christ can guide and direct us through
the times of trial, or offer us an
alternative to the turbulent world in
which we now live, then the
consequences could be devastating.
Even for those of us who do not choose
to follow this path, the effect that a
Christian education have on us could be
the difference between ignorance and
understanding, hatred and love, and at
its extreme, war and peace.
No single province is the same so it
is necessary to take a look at several
schools and colleges from around the
Anglican Communion in order to
illustrate their uniqueness in mission
and to signify their crucial status in our
global Anglican family. We begin this
new series by taking a look at Brent
International School in the Philippines.
Brent is an international, coeducational,
day school associated with
the Episcopal Church in the Philippines.
The mission Statement of all Brent
Schools is:
“Brent schools, in a Christian
ecumenical environment in the
Philippines are committed to develop
individual students as responsible
global citizens and leaders in their
respective communities, with a multicultural
and international perspective,
and equipped for entry to colleges and
universities throughout the world.”
The Brent – Manila family consists of
students from over 42 countries. With a
Christian ethos, the school seeks to help
students to become rational,
intellectually curious, tolerant, and
receptive to new ideas. While
developing the talents and interests of
students, the school instils in them a
strong sense of values.
In the early 1900s, the Rt Revd
Charles Henry Brent came to the
Philippines and became the country’s
first Bishop of the Episcopal Church.
The Bishop founded Brent School
Baguio in 1909 to serve the children of
expatriate families residing in the
Philippines. Originally a boarding
school for boys, Brent School Baguio
later opened its doors to girls. Day
students and Filipino nationals were
eventually accepted as part of the
international community of scholars.
Since then, Brent has also established
schools in Manila and Subic,
maintaining the traditional quality, style
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
by Matthew Davies
and educational standards of Brent
School Baguio.
Bishop Brent’s ministry was marked
by three major goals: to provide quality
education for the youth of the
Philippines and the international
community; to bring together Christians
of the world and persons of other faiths;
and to lead the fight against moral
degeneration. These are the basic goals
that Brent School continues to espouse
today.
The three currently existing
campuses in Baguio, Manila and Subic,
are located in the heart of safe but
active urban areas. These schools have
all the facilities necessary to maintain a
secure, yet healthy educational
environment, catering to the enthusiasm
of the active young mind and body.
Brent International School, Manila
has recently opened a new school site
south of Metro manila. The school is
part of Brentville, a subdivision
developed by Filinvest Land in Binan,
Laguna. The school complex can house
1500 students from Nursery through to
Grade 12.

MICHAELMAS 2002
Throughout the world, the name
of Copeman Hart is synonymous
with excellence: for the quality
of our consoles as much as for
our unique pipelike sound.
THE MOST ELEGANT CONSOLES
Our consoles are considered by leading organists to be amongst the most elegant and comfortable
to play – in comparison with many pipe and indeed all electronic examples. We have been
commissioned to build consoles and actions for pipe organs – sometimes without digital stops –
purely on grounds of craftsmanship, system flexibility, and total acceptance by organists.
THE ART OF VOICING
The sophistication of our real-time software enables us to voice the individual characteristics of
each note of each stop to a degree far beyond that achieved with sampled sound. Choruses build up
realistically, with each stop adding to the ensemble. As every pipe organ builder knows, voicing
consists of adjusting many parameters for every note, and not merely adjusting loudness and tone.
The number of organists who insist that “only Copeman Hart will do” testifies to the success of
this philosophy.
LONG-ESTABLISHED EXCELLENCE
For nearly five decades, Copeman Hart have striven to produce the best pipe imitation in the
world. That we have so obviously succeeded is evidenced by the comments that we continually
receive about each installation: but we do not rest on our laurels. The quest for perfection
continues, and improvements in software and technique that we make can be applied to every
Copeman Hart organ, new and old.
CDs of Copeman Hart organs in Keble College, Oxford, and Wells Cathedral are available

ECUMENICAL
The Anglican-Roman Catholic International
Commission
COMMUNIQUÉ
Vienna
18 July 2002
The Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) met
from 10 to 18 July at the Focolare centre Am Spiegeln in Vienna,
Austria, under the co-chairmanship of the Most Reverend Alexander J
Brunett, Archbishop of Seattle, USA, and the Most Reverend Frank T
Griswold, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, USA. The
Reverend Charles Morerod OP joined the Commission as a new
member from the Roman Catholic Church. Fr Morerod is a Swiss
national who teaches at the Angelicum in Rome. The Revd Jonathan
Gough also joined the Commission as an observer from the office of
the Archbishop of Canterbury. Fr Gough is the Archbishop’s Officer for
Ecumenism, based at Lambeth Palace, London.
The main focus of study continues to be the place of the Blessed Virgin
Mary in the life and doctrine of the Church. The Commission first
considered some new material from Anglican authors of the 17th
century which completed its comprehensive survey of matters related
to Mary in the Scriptures, Patristic thought, Medieval, Reformation and
post-Reformation periods. It then proceeded to discuss in detail a
preliminary draft of an agreed statement, which had been prepared
earlier in the year. Work in small groups produced a more mature stage
of a draft, which will be further refined over the next year.

Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission (IARCCUM) was received.
IARCCUM was established after the historic meeting of Anglican and
Roman Catholic Primates and Bishops in Mississauga Canada in 2000,
and complements the work of ARCIC by promoting ways of deepening
our communion in life and mission.
The Commission’s work in the service of unity is set in the context of
worship and prayer. Morning and Evening Prayer were celebrated daily,
along with the Holy Eucharist, alternating the Roman Catholic and
Anglican rites, and respecting the discipline of both traditions.
The Commission noted with sadness the death of the Revd Canon
Professor Eugene Fairweather in April of this year. Professor
Fairweather, a Canadian, had been a member of the Anglican-Roman
Catholic Preparatory Commission and ARCIC I. His outstanding
contributions to the dialogue were recalled and he was commemorated
at one of the daily Eucharists.
During its plenary meeting the members of the Commission were
honoured to be invited to a reception hosted by His Eminence Cardinal
Christoph Schönborn, the Archbishop of Vienna. The reception was
preceded by a service of Evensong in the Cardinal’s chapel led by the
Revd Canon Patrick Curran, the chaplain of the Church of England
congregation in Vienna. Also in attendance at the reception was Sister
Christine Gleixner, the president of the Ecumenical Council of Austria.
The Commission also received the generous hospitality of the Abbot
and Canons of the Augustinian Abbey of Klosterneuburg, which
included a tour of the treasury of the Abbey Church of the Nativity of
Our Lady, dating from the 12th century.
The Commission expressed its gratitude to Luisa Sello and the
members of the Focolare Community and staff at Am Spiegeln whose
warm hospitality and assistance contributed so greatly to the success
of the meeting.

The International Commission of the Anglican-
Orthodox Theological Dialogue
COMMUNIQUÉ
Abergavenny, Wales
26th-28th June 2002
The International Commission of the Anglican-Orthodox Theological
Dialogue met in Abergavenny 26 - 28 June 2002 as guests of the
Church in Wales. Its members were welcomed by the Archbishop of
Wales, The Most Reverend Rowan Williams, who had invited the
Commission to meet in his Province. The Commission is composed of
representatives of the Orthodox Churches and the member Churches of
the Anglican Communion. Its meetings were held in the Priory Centre
adjoining St Mary’s Priory Church, where Morning Prayer was said
daily. The Commission enjoyed the generous hospitality of the parish
each day at lunch. The Chairman of the Monmouthshire County Council
entertained members of the Commission, County and civic dignitaries,
and local church leaders at a Civic Buffet in the Angel Hotel,
Abergavenny.
The Dialogue began its work of exploring and reconciling doctrinal
differences between the Anglican and Orthodox Churches in 1973.
Agreements reached in its first two stages were set out in the Moscow
Agreed Statement of 1976 and the Dublin Agreed Statement of 1984.
In its present third phase the Commission has been examining the
doctrine of the Church in relation to the doctrines of the Holy Trinity,
the Person of Christ and the Holy Spirit.
At Abergavenny the Commission continued its examination of the
ordained ministry of the Church begun last year at Volos, Greece.
Anglican and Orthodox papers on the ordination of women to the
priesthood and the episcopate were presented and discussed. An
agreed statement on Priesthood, Christ and the Church was approved.
The Commission intends to meet early in 2003. It plans to continue its
discussion of the ordination of women to the priesthood and
episcopate, and to consider non-priestly ministries in the church.
Issues still to be considered include reception by the church of new
ideas and practices, and questions regarding heresy and schism.

Anglican Consultative Council's
Director of Ecumenical Affairs to be
new Suffragan Bishop
The Revd Canon David Hamid with the Rt Revd Geoffrey Rowell during the
press conference announcing the new appointment
The Revd Canon David Hamid, 47, Director of Ecumenical Affairs and
Studies for the Anglican Consultative Council since 1996, is to be the
next Suffragan Bishop of the Diocese in Europe. He will take up his
duties following his consecration by the Archbishop of Canterbury and
other bishops on 17 October in central London.
Born in Scotland to Scottish and Burmese parents, Canon Hamid has
spent much of his ministry in Canada, and holds dual Canadian and
British citizenship. He was rector of St John's Burlington, Ontario
(1983-87), where he developed a mission congregation into a selfsupporting
parish.
For nearly ten years (1987-1996) he was one of the General Synod of
the Anglican Church of Canada's Regional Mission Co-ordinators. He
worked to strengthen relationships between Canadian Anglicans and
their Anglican and ecumenical partners in Latin America and the
Caribbean. This included collaborating in practical programmes of
evangelism, training, and youth ministry, as well as supporting mission
partners in the field, developing policy and working on a range of
international issues.
Since 1996 he has been the Director of Ecumenical Affairs and Studies
for the Anglican Consultative Council, based in London, developing
forward-moving relations both between world communions and more
localised Church families, and resourcing ecumenical relations in the
different dioceses and provinces of the Anglican Communion.
Canon Hamid has been secretary, member or consultant in many
international ecumenical dialogues, including those with Baptist,
Lutheran, Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. He has also been a
consultant to the World Council of Churches Faith and Order
Commission and an ex-officio member of the Church of England's Faith
and Order Advisory Group.
He has established good working relationships with many of the
Diocese in Europe's partners in Continental Europe. He is a special
advisor to the European Provincial Consultation set up at the request of
the Lambeth Conference 1998. He is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and
French.
Canon Hamid said of his appointment, "As I look back on my ministry
to date, I can see how, in so many ways, it may have been a
preparation for what is coming, through my involvement with the
Church's ecumenical life, the international and multicultural dimensions
of her mission and ministry, developing and nurturing her work in
places where Anglicans are clearly in the minority among other
Christians. I am looking forward very much to the fresh challenges
which this appointment brings, in getting to know the clergy and
people of the diocese and to working with Bishop Rowell."
A keen traveller, David is married to Colleen (a research scientist at St
Thomas' Hospital London) and has two sons, Jonathan (16) and
Michael (12). He is a pianist, and music is one of his principal ways of
relaxing.

An editor's notebook:
It never pays to stereotype people, institutions,
and anything. Syndey as a city and diocese is a
rainbow celebration of God's great gift of beauty,
wonder and praise. The diocese and its
leadership have a strong biblical-based orthodox
message to share with the wider-Communion and
their parishes reflect the diversity so apparent in
all our provinces in the Anglican Communion.
It was my privilege to attend the Australian
Religious Press Association meeting during the
"winter" month of August and to be a speaker at a
pre-meeting Anglican communicators gathering
as well. So many dioceses sent their
communications officers and it was a time of
sharing joy and sorrow, hopes and fears, as well
as building a needed community among Anglican
communicators, who often work in the most
difficult of situations. I came back refreshed and
filled with admiration for my new friends. Their
affirmation of the work of my small but eager
staff was a real blessing.
Only Anglican Media Sydney could host such a
great array of speakers and unique schedule,
thanks especially to Canon Margaret Rodgers and
Jeremy Halcrow. Here is what I saw.

Continuing our series on the work of Anglican Artists, this issue we look at the creations of Canterbury Pewter
A Ministry in Progress
Since its beginnings in the former
Temple Hills Mennonite Church on
the sunrise side of the Blue Ridge
Mountains of Virginia in the fall of 1989,
Canterbury Pewter has been a veritable
ministry in progress, if not an outright
miracle. In the scant few years that
followed, Canterbury Pewter was to rise
from an all consuming Thanksgiving Day
fire in 1991, that took that lovely little
church and all that was Canterbury
Pewter, to a presence at Lambeth in 1998
and, today, to the leading world source of
replicas of our cherished heritage pieces.
The affiliation with the Anglican world
began in 1992 with an invitation by the
then Canterbury Cathedral Trust in
America to begin fashioning a line of
pewter jewelry replicating our original
Canterbury Cross and Compass Rose.
The museum curator in Canterbury was
kind enough to allow a detailed
photographing of the original cross and
exciting times were underway. As
Lambeth of 1998 approached, with these
things Canterbury achieving a growing
awareness and acclaim on both sides of
the Atlantic, Canterbury Pewter was
invited by the London Offices of the
Anglican Communion to present these
special wares at the Lambeth Conference
in Canterbury. From there, Canterbury
Pewter was spring boarded into all
corners of the globe with lovely pewter
and gold plated pieces going home with
the assembled Bishops and their spouses.
Today, these offerings of things
Canterbury comprise over 40 different
designs and pieces from the several sizes
of the Canterbury Cross and Compass
Rose to lapel pins, key rings, bookmarks,
blazer buttons and cuff links… and, all in
both a polished pewter and lovely, 24k
museum quality gold plate. And, more
recently, Canterbury Pewter has become
44
your source of lovely Anglican desktop
flags and wall banners depicting that
symbol of our Anglican world - our
glorious Compass Rose. On that, it is
hoped, in these times of chaotic thought
and stretched faith, that through the
ongoing efforts and ministry at
Canterbury Pewter, we might be
instrumental in helping to spread the
word and significance of this lovely
symbol. We were touched by the words
of Archbishop Peter Jensen of Sydney
recently in his address on The Role of the
Churches in Australia Today… his theme
- “Speaking the Truth in Love”… and,
adding that to the motto of our Compass
Rose, we might offer this: “The Truth in
Love Shall Make You Free.” Surely, the
concept of our Compass is ripe today as
we all seek both mundane and divine
guidance. You may learn more about
these banners and flags and obtain a

Geared to the Church and to her
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
needs, the ministry of Canterbury Pewter
has been an ever-evolving one. For
general church use, the Canterbury Cross
is offered for clergy, choir, acolytes, lay
readers, for awards programs, and for
those special gift needs that every parish
has from time to time.
To help churches with their fund
raising needs, Canterbury Pewter has
evolved a Christmas tree ornament
program, and working with either active
ECW or Youth Groups, is bringing this
exciting program to many churches
across America. Typically, these polished
pewter pieces depict the parish via an
artist’s sketch on the face, with a bit of
history or scripture on the reverse… great
fundraisers… real collectibles. In many
cases, we offer a new ornament each
year… often doing representations of the
stained glass windows.
And, to further assist our growing
family of churches, we are offering Youth
Groups the opportunity to take a wide
selection of pieces on consignment for a
special bazaar event or merely sales after
church on Sunday… returning to us what
has not sold so to be then invoiced for
50% of the sales collected. A win/win
arrangement for all and with no cost
outlays up front. And, as the kids tell us
in America, sure beats washing cars as a
way to raise those needed dollars.
Also, with any Church or Cathedral
that has its own Book Store and Gift
Shop, Canterbury Pewter is pleased to
offer these “things Canterbury” at a
wholesale equal to just 50% of the
suggested retail. These outlets are in a
constant state of expansion, and we are
pleased to see such growth in the family
of Canterbury Pewter. Perhaps your own
Parish would like to be included.
Which brings us to 2002, and a most
exciting new path. To preserve the works
begun by Canterbury Pewter, and to
afford an ongoing source of revenues for
our Mother Church, efforts are under
way, initiated by Canon James Rosenthal
of our London Offices, and, sanctioned
and blessed by the offices of the Presiding
Bishop of the Episcopal Church in
America, Bishop Frank Griswold, to find
an angel from amidst the
Anglican/Episcopal flock who might like
to facilitate the gift of Canterbury Pewter
to Canterbury Cathedral so that it may
operate evermore under the wing of the
mother church. With this accomplished,
and officially encouraged, it is hoped that
Canterbury Pewter’s annual contribution
to the Cathedral may be upwards of
$100,000. Should you have thoughts to
where such an angel may tread, please
don’t hesitate to let us know.

Good News for Ministry
ALL WHO MINISTER
New Ways of Serving God’s People
Maylanne Maybee, editor
These first-hand stories from the pioneering frontiers of alternative
ministry, and far-reaching articles on innovative theologies of
ministry, offer inspiring models and penetrating rationales for
all who minister — whether in a venerable tradition or on the
forefront of change. The case studies are about people who have
ventured onto unfamiliar paths. Some have done so from a sense
of possibility and vision, others from economic or demographic
necessity.
Those seeking to expand “mainstream forms,” to try new
things, and forge new paths, will find great encouragement in
these pages.

Bishop Keith John Benzies dies at 64
Bishop Keith John Benzies,
Bishop of Antsiranana in
Madagascar, was a
remarkable man who was held in
high esteem by many in his
diocese and throughout the
worldwide Anglican Communion.
He was due to retire next year,
but sadly, his death came as a
shock on 14 May 2002, following
a malaria attack coupled by
extreme exhaustion and
dehydration.
It was a devastating piece of
news for the Anglican community
in Antsiranana, and the majority
of the people who knew him in
this town. His vivid faith, his
legendary simplicity and
generosity, his social works for
the benefit of the poor, the needy
and the disabled within and
without the church, brought him
fame and recognition from all
corners of life in Madagascar.
Local Christians of all
denominations; many Christian
societies and lay people; Muslims
and the local authorities;
councillors and ordinary folks of
all trades, came to pay tribute for
three days and nights, during
which different Christian services
took place.
Bishop Benzies was ordained
priest at the age of 28 and
appointed as a teacher of
Theology at the Theological
College in Antananarivo in 1966.
He became the principal of that
college from 1970 to 1979 before
he went to Diego-Suarez
Antsiranana as an assistant
bishop. In 1982 he was
consecrated as a bishop in
Mauritius and later became Dean
of the Province of the Indian
Ocean, a position he held until
his death in May of this year.
According to the doctors, he was
suffering from a severe case of
malaria and developed typhoid
fever during the night of 13 May.
He had just arrived back from a
mission visit to Ambanja and it is
believed that he was extremely
tired and dehydrated, coupled by
the latest developments in his
long-suffered Parkinson’s
disease. He was sent to hospital
the following day but passed
away later in the afternoon
despite the medication and
treatments he had received. His
service to the mission of God
was apparent to the end, and his
commitment to that service is
something for which he will be
remembered by so many,
especially those who had the
privilege of being touched by his
warmth and compassion.
A special ceremony took place in
the open place outside his house,
as Bishop Keith was a member of
both the Order of the British
Empire and the Malagasy
National Order. His body was
then taken to the Anglican
Cathedral for the last funeral
mass celebrated by Jaozandry
Paul Bert, the Vicar of the
Diocese, in the presence of the
Most Revd Gabriel Josoa, a
retired Anglican Bishop.
When the funeral procession
arrived in Ambilobe, thousands
of people were already waiting in
the churchyard. A special tomb
had already been erected
overnight just a few yards from
the church, waiting to receive the
mortal remains.
During the service the local
Catholic Archbishop made a
remarkably moving address. He
described Bishop Benzies as “ a
simple man, with a humble heart
but a strong head, a strong
character characterised by deep
faith in Jesus Christ and in
humanitarian values.”
All the members of the
Ecumenical Council of
Madagascar took part in Bishop
Keith’s funeral ceremony which
was attended by local Military
and Civilian authorities, the
members of the Anglican clergy
in the Diocese of Antsiranana and
representatives from the other
dioceses. Archbishop Remi
Rabenirina was unable to attend
as a consequence of the current
political situation in the island.
The day after the funeral, a
committee composed of some
clergy members, the two Bishops
of Mahajanga and Tamatave, the
Diocesan Treasurer, and the
Chancellor, assisted by some lay
members of the church, met in
Antsiranana. For four days and
nights they discussed the
proceedings for the Bishop’s
succession. This Committee was
led and presided over by the
Vicar General Jaozandry Paul
Bert and its main task was to
give way to a smoothing
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
transition towards the chair of
the new Bishop.
The task is enormous and
difficult, and difficult is an
understatement. It looks like a
detective’s work to trace down all
the documents and information
that could be helpful in order to
pursue and sustain what the
Bishop had done alongside with
his pastoral work.
During his funeral address the
Catholic Archbishop said, “ He
was a man of the robe, highly
esteemed and appreciated by his
116 churches and congregations,
and he was cherished by both
Christians and non-Christians,
the man in the street and the
local administrators.”
Many people whose lives had
been touched by Bishop Keith
offered their personal memories
of the impressions that he had
had on them. Here follows a few
of those memories:
“ Moments before meeting the
Bishop for the first time, I
watched him thread his way
through a huge crowd gathered
in the dusty churchyard at
Ambilobe - virtually on the spot
where he now lies buried. He
stood out. Not just for his white
skin and purple shirt, but for the
countless times he stopped to
offer a helping hand to those in
need, or to share with them a
word of encouragement and
hope.”
“ Bishop Keith lived his life for
others. Hebrews - his favourite
book of the Bible - reads like a
commentary on the self-sacrifice
for which he is justly famous: Do
not neglect to show hospitality to
strangers… Endure trials for the
sake of discipline… Lift your
drooping hands and strengthen
your weak knees, and make
straight paths for your
feet… Remember those who are
in prison… Keep your life free
from the love of money, and be
content with what you have.” One
bank teller in Antsiranana felt
sure that, whenever the Bishop
came to his kiosk, he was
serving Jesus Christ himself.
“ The boys’ hostel is a vision of
the virtues Bishop Keith sought
to instil in others. Short on
management structure, it is
unashamedly a spiritual
community. Within and beyond
its walls, the boys work tirelessly
for one another, forging
friendships, respecting the weak,
nurturing the outcast, caring for
the sick among them, sharing
what little they have. They are
living reminders of the Bishop
and his ministry.”
May his soul rest in peace. Amen

USA: Quincy’s oldest congregation
determined to rebuild after fire
Jan Nunley
Episcopal News Service
St John’s Episcopal Church, the
“historic mother church” of the
Episcopal Diocese of Quincy which
celebrated its 150th birthday this year,
was gutted by a five-alarm fire caused
by lightning early August 23, sustaining
major damage.
“It’s a shell,” said Quincy bishop,
Keith Ackerman, of the structure, which
is on the National Register of Historic
Places. “You think of a typical Anglo-
Catholic church building, it’s this one.
And it’s gone.”
A severe thunderstorm, with
lightning and heavy rain, passed
through Quincy early on the morning of
the fire, which started about 5am.
Assistant fire chief, Dan Rottman, said
metal beams hanging above the
sanctuary had to be removed before
firefighters and investigators could
safely work inside the building.
“I’m surprised the fire was so well
contained,” Dave Schlembach, an
architect who also is a church member,
54
told the Quincy Herald-Whig. “The
sanctuary is completely gone, but with
the exception of water and smoke
damage, everything else is pretty much
unscathed. The roof structure is gone,
but the walls appear to be in good
shape.”
The most heavily damaged part of the
structure was the portion built in 1877. A
hand-carved reredos, created by
Bavarian craftsmen, was hit by burning
timbers from the roof. The building’s
two Tiffany stained glass windows were
damaged and the organ was lost.
Firefighters kept the blaze away from a
chapel at the north end of the building
and the administration area of the
church, which houses an early education
centre.
Bishop Ackerman said that a painting
called ‘Final Harvest’ that hung behind
the altar was also lost, along with the
bishop’s chair with the names of each
bishop of the diocese carved into it.
“Miraculously,” he added, “three items
survived: a wooden tabernacle
containing consecrated bread from the
Eucharist; a crucifix given to Bishop
Ackerman at his ordination, which he
had donated to the church in memory of
his parents; and a statue of Our Lady of
Walsingham, which he had also donated.
Soot from the fire formed ‘a tear’ at the
corner of Mary’s eye.”
The church is the oldest church
structure in Quincy, Illinois, and has
served as cathedral for the diocese of
Illinois, which was divided into the
Dioceses of Quincy, Chicago and
Anglican World
MICHAELMAS 2002
Springfield in 1877, as well as for the
Diocese of Quincy until 1962. The
Episcopal Diocese of Quincy, which
covers most of west-central Illinois, has
4,000 members at eight parishes and 16
missions.
Bishop Ackerman celebrated Mass at
noon the day after the fire in the parish
hall, telling the congregation that “as
precious as the building is, we are going
to be the church.”
“The parish is determined to rebuild
through the grace of the Holy Spirit,”
said Tad Brenner, the parish’s senior
warden and a diocesan deputy to
General Convention.
“There is no question that this church
will be rebuilt,” Kirby Eber, the parish’s
junior warden, told the Quincy Herald-
Whig. “I’m sure it will be as close to a
restoration as possible.”
Archbishop commends
moves to peace in Sudan
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr George
Carey, has applauded recent
developments in the search for a peaceful
resolution of conflict in Sudan.
Commenting on the Machakos Protocol
signed last week in Kenya by both the
Sudanese Government and The Sudan
People’s Liberation Army, Dr Carey said:
“ I have been pleased and encouraged by
the recent progress that has been made
towards peace in Sudan. Any durable
resolution of the conflict will need to deal
honestly with such issues as religious
freedom for all and self-determination,
and I am heartened that this reality has
been embraced by those involved in the
negotiations.
“ I look forward with anticipation and hope
to the further negotiations, promised in
the near future. I pray that they may bring
still closer a final agreement, the prospect
of peace and security, and an end to the
deep suffering of the Sudanese people, for
which all people of goodwill continue to
yearn.”
All the parties involved have committed
themselves to meet next month again in
August to continue negotiations.

Images Worth A Thousand Words
One of the enduring images we will remember of Archbishop George Carey, will be of him
officiating at services in his striking enthronement robes. They captured his enthusiasm
for colour, emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit and the text from John’s Gospel - “the
truth shall make you free.”
The buttermilk coloured cope and accompanying oyster coloured mitre and stole were the
work of embroideress Juliet Hemingray and her team at Church Textiles in Derby. The
vestments, heavily appliqued with purple, red, orange, yellow and gold flames,
richly embroidered with fine ribbons, metallic cords, glistening with rhinestones and bugle
beads, provided striking imagery, ideal for a televisual age. In fact, Juliet went to the length of
visiting her local TV studios in Nottingham during production work on the vestments to assess
their appearance under studio lighting.
Juliet takes up the story: “The first time I met Dr Carey was at an exhibition of my work at a
conference centre. He enjoyed what he saw and commissioned to design some vestments for
him to wear at Wells Cathedral. On hearing of his appointment to the position of Archbishop in
1991 I wrote to congratulate him and asked if he’d like any new vestments. Eight weeks later
came the request to produce a set of enthronement robes.
“As with all commissions, an intensive period of research commenced. I travelled with a
colleague to Canterbury and commenced making notes and sketching. I asked Dr Carey what he
wanted. He said ‘something with gold in it’.
“The gold was incorporated in a symbolic message, which drew the attention of people
watching the ceremony at home on their television. Together with my team I compiled fabrics
and colour samples and presented these to him. And the rest, as they say, is history.
“I have a very innovative approach to embroidery, but am equally at home with traditional
imagery. Each year our team travels throughout the UK and to various colleges to meet with people and discuss their requirements. It seems that our distinctive
design approach appeals to a very broad range of people and churches. Over this past decade orders to Church Textiles have come in from around the globe,
including the USA, Japan, Australia and Ireland. I now spend about thirteen weeks each year in the USA, travelling between exhibitions and meeting up with
people to discuss their commissions and work up designs to their brief. We now have hundreds of stoles, chasubles, copes and banners enlivening church
buildings all over the USA. I’ve even taken part in a clergy ‘catwalk’ show that was attended by one hundred and fifty journalists from around the world.
“The Church Textiles team now numbers fourteen people. Our commissions have included everything from stoles to huge conference banners. My son Joel
has created a wonderful online resource for people to browse at their leisure - www.church-textiles.co.uk. It will hopefully inspire people and help them to think
about how we might be able to meet their requirements.”

The most fitting word I can find to summarise my
recent visit to the Anglicans in Australia is
mutuality.
The generosity of Anglican Media Sydney made it
possible for me to attend the annual Australian
Religious Press Association and more
significantly for me, the pre-meeting Anglican
gathering of communicators.
Mutual responsibility and interdependence in the body of Christ. People
today talk as if we never had a sense of being responsible partners in
ministry until yesterday, or maybe the day before yesterday. I wonder what
they think the Cycle of Prayer is all about anyway.
In Sydney I was immediately confronted with the fact that the Anglicans in
Australia are served in areas of communications by professional and
committed Anglican Christians, who like so many, work sacrificially, to say
the least. The multiple speeches I made over the six days enabled me to
engage and help others engage in a mutuality that I have rarely
experienced in my work over 12 years. I can’t remember when I felt so
‘ministered to’ while attempting to also ‘minister to’ people that, like me,
deal with difficult and often sad situations, that can and do breed ill
feelings in our respective communities.
My theme was John 8:32, the truth shall make you free, which is the
motto, albeit in Greek, on the Compass Rose itself. It seems some
Anglicans simply can’t read Greek, so maybe we better put it in, at the
least, English. Kyrie eleison! We met for some sessions at the robust
shrine of Blessed Mary Mackellop (yes Roman Catholic, not Sydney
Anglican!). Hers is a story of truth setting a woman free - really free - with
many pushing the Vatican to name her as the first Aussie saint.
Much truth was told and shared in our time together. Blunders, insults,
mistakes, recoveries, insights, growth, denial, and vision. Hard questions
raised and the whole need for transparency, yes, but also respect,
something almost gone from the media, at least in the UK and over the
vitriolic airwaves of cyberspace, was emphasised. Like the questions of
life, the answers were not always obvious.
But what about Sydney, a diocese many think they ‘know’ of in our global
family. A stereotype of a certain brand of Christian expression? Well, sorry
to upset some, but alas, although the diocesan structure has its ‘theme’,
the people, priests and places I visited made me realise that Sydney
Diocese was yet another ‘home’ for this wandering Episcopalian. Whether
it was St James’s King Street, or St Stephen’s Newtown, Anglicare or
Anglicans Together, I was at home! It also made me yearn for ways
Anglicans can share theological insights especially regarding scripture,
and tradition and reason. I always thought that was a unique part of our
offering to the wider catholic church, but maybe it has changed, I do
wonder when? But I am only a layman!
Yet this fast and furious visit to Sydney offers me a chance to devote
several pages in this issue to some of what I experienced so that
unnecessary labels and barriers might be rethought.
Maybe I am naïve but my sense was that a united sense of purpose was
experienced in the Anglican Communicators, as we talked about the
Communion (and Archbishop Carey’s incredible contributions to it, and the
hopes of great things to come with Archbishop Williams). The phrase “God
isn’t finished with the Communion, yet”, came to mind.
So Sydney, whether you want me or not, you are Sydney my Sydney, and
I thank you and all the Australians and New Zealanders present for the
warmth of welcome, the attentiveness to my story, and the sense of what I
call mutual trust we have in each others’ work for the Kingdom of the risen
Christ. The old hymn said it well, “Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace,
tidings of Jesus, redemption and release”.
Visit pages 42-43 for my accounts of my visits to 8 parishes and several
institutions of Sydney and the Province.
