Address at Anglicare’s 150th Anniversary Service

Mark Latham and other social commentators, are pointing to the problems of contemporary life. They have answers which may or may not help. But we Christians also need to engage in this discussion by pointing out that the problems which are before us have spiritual and moral roots... Anglicare is no accident. The first and best thing we can do for our community is preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Christmas gift that breaks the curse - Archbishop Jensen

In CS Lewis’s story, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which will be on our movie screens from Boxing Day, the land of Narnia is under a curse that means that it is always winter but never Christmas. Of course, it is never winter at Christmas time in Australia, but we can nevertheless understand what a terrible curse this is! Narnia is stuck in hard times, with no cause for celebration. Its creatures are suffering, with no highlight to look forward to.

The Media’s Secret Agenda - Peter Jensen

It seems to many of us that in matters to do with faith, there is evidence of a consistently distorted media line. If so, it is a secret because most people in the media are unaware of it themselves – that is it is not a secret conspiracy, but a largely unconscious element of behaviour.
