Censorship is a very difficult issue. It is impossible to know that we have the truth if information is being kept from us. However, the spread of lies and misinformation slows down any pursuit of truth. Furthermore unnecessarily offensive communication reduces people’s willingness to discuss issues rationally.

If students are just out of college, they’re boring. If you’re not boring just out of college, you didn’t learn enough in college. It’s when you’re five years out and you’re still boring that you’ve got a problem.

Sermon Notes for Dean Phillip Jensen's sermon at the funeral of Mr Jack Ingham AO held in St Andrew's Cathedral 12 August

Why praise the Lord? Because of his mighty deeds and his excellent greatness to the Psalmist. God’s mighty deeds could be seen in the creation of the world, the sustaining the world – rain and sun, food and pleasure. God’s might could be seen especially in rescuing Israel out of slavery in Egypt, across the wilderness with Moses, into the promised land under Joshua and through establishing the kingdom of David. If it was not for the Lord’s mighty deeds Israel would have perished. It would have disappeared into oblivion, as a slave people in the land of Egypt. But God’s mighty power, God’s enormous greatness, God’s sovereign control over all things, God’s excellent greatness has done these mighty works for the salvation of his people.

Today (June 1, 2003) we celebrate the jubilee of that moment when the Archbishop of Canterbury “reverently put” the crown of St Edward’s upon the head of the Queen and the nation with loud and repeated shouts cried out God save the Queen. And as we remember that moment we are wise to consider again the relationship between Church and State. For in the Archbishop’s action there was symbolised the medieval notions of Christendom, of the State deriving its authority from the Church.

This is a difficult topic to talk upon honestly. Simple superficial platitudes are easy to give, but as soon as we talk honestly and say what Bible says, we tread on peoples sensitivities in an area where many of us have hurts, disappointments, frustrations, anger, and guilt. Some have recently lost their mothers. Some are struggling to become mothers. Some are still struggling to forgive their mothers.

Deans, ministering at Cathedrals in great cities, have often been troublesome and obstinate people - hard to get along with - the bane of the Bishop’s existence and the irritation of the community leadership.

Already widely recognised as a notable and even controversial preacher, Phillip Jensen, the new Anglican Dean of Sydney, and a self-confessed lover of Sydney, is planning to use his pulpit over the Easter weekend to bring to the city’s residents the real meaning of Easter. Over the Easter period he will be presenting a series of sermons “Jensen on Jesus” at St Andrew’s Cathedral, located in George Street Sydney above Town Hall Train Station.

The Christian response to war is prayer. Prayer is the most natural supernatural activity. But is it of any use other than making us feel good? What are God’s plans for the world and where does war fit into His plans? And where does this war fit in? And what should we be praying for - hoping for - expecting to happen? Is God on our side?

A Special Prayer Service, which will include a sermon that explores issues surrounding war and peace, will be held at St Andrew’s Cathedral, George Street, Sydney at 10.30am on Sunday 23rd March.

My first sermon from this pulpit - this sermon tonight - is a plea for prayer. It is a self centred plea - a plea for prayer for me. But yet it is also a plea for prayer for all of us who would stand in this wonderful city and call upon it to repent.
