  • I want to be a big hearted encourager like Barnabas. I want to be a reliable assistant like Timothy. I want to be passionate preacher like Apollos.

    When you think about the qualifications for Christian ministry in 1Timothy 3, the significance of personality is pretty much ignored.

    What is the relationship between character and personality? Some one is all about structure and someone elose is much more ‘loosy-goosy/flexible.’

    When there’s conflict in church or in a ministry teams - it’s often put down to personality difference or sometimes even disorder.

    What does the bible say about all this?

    Tim Omrod serves with the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES) at Griffith University on the Gold Coast and has just finished a study of the co-workers of Paul.

  • In a significant interview on the Rest is Politics Podcast England’s Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, has denied the teaching of the bible, and the teaching of his church.

    It is Archbishop Welby’s most public betrayal of his ordination and consecration vow to ‘banish error and to uphold and defend the truth taught in Scripture.’

    Archbishop Welby’s comments came on the eve of an important House of Bishops meeting in the UK, which considered a request from a group called The Alliance, consisting of 2360 clergy whose churches represent 42% of the Church of England’s Sunday attendance, and who hold to the Bible’s teaching on sexuality.

    They are asking for a separate orthodox province to be created within the Church of England.

    Vaughan Roberts is the senior minister of St. Ebbe’s in Oxford, and is one of the signatories of the request from The Alliance.

  • 5,000 believers gathered from more than 200 nations last month in South Korea.

    It is 50 years since Billy Graham and John Stott first launched the Lausanne movement in Switzerland.

    Anglican Bishop of North Sydney Chris Edwards has described the congress as like an all you can eat buffet - where some parts tasted amazing / fantastic and I kept wanting more and yet other parts even a mouthful made me feel nauseous.

    Principal of Sydney’s Moore Theological College Mark Thompson says there were some great highlights including a presentation by Vaughan Roberts on sexuality but also areas of concern.

  • Historical literacy is a critical tool for Christians, deepening faith and enhancing evangelism and discipleship.

    Sarah Irving Stonebreaker says we’ve forgotten how to engage well with the past, we don’t know why the past might be relevant to us today, and we have missed out on being part of a larger story.

    We need to uncover overlooked histories, bringing historical injustices to light, move beyond culture wars, bring historical injustices to light and recognise the sins of the past (including our own).

    Sarah is Associate Professor of History in Western Civilization at the Australian Catholic University.

    She says the church can offer a rich narrative that can reconnect those feeling adrift.

  • What should the church pastor / staff team / church council or bishop do about the big drop in attendance?

    A new report (bit.ly/AttendancePatterns) shows Adult Attendance in churches in Sydney is down 7% or 14% against population (over a decade).

    Adult attendance declined at approximately two-thirds of Sydney Anglican comparable church centers, and only one-third of church centers recorded an increase in attendance.

    The big problem is newcomers. We just are not reaching them. Newcomers are down to 5.4%.

    And with fewer new people joining churches, the churches that are growing are primarily growing at the expense of churches that are declining.

    A noticeable decline in attendance was recorded in 2018-2019, especially in the most rapidly secularising areas of our region.

    The issues are not just external. We have internal issues. There are denominational and congregational factors at play. There are key church health characteristics that show internal health factors are lower in those regions - factors relating to congregational character and leadership.

    Geoff Bates pastors Life church in Sydney’s North West and chairs the committee that produced the Attendance Patterns Review report.

    Toby Neal pastors Vine Church in inner Sydney, which has seen remarkable growth.

    Dave Jensen works at assisting churches to grow in their evangelistic temperature through Evangelism and New Churches.

    Host Dominic Steele also served on the committee that produced the report.

  • One of the world’s leading New Testament Scholars Thomas Schriener is in Sydney for the Moore College Lectures on ‘The Battle for the truth of the gospel.’

    At the center of his attention is NT Wright and the New Perspective on Paul, a debate that questions whether ancient Judaism was legalistic.

    Schreiner tells of his roots in Roman Catholicism, a transformative evangelical faith, and the enduring importance of the Reformation perspective of justification by faith alone.

    Schreiner, who chairs the Christian Standard Bible translation committee, takes us behind the scenes of the Christian Standard Bible's translation process, revealing the rigorous debates and decisions that shape how we read that translation.

    He outlines how denominational diversity influences translation accuracy.

    Plus we unpack the profound need to teach biblical gender roles in contemporary culture.

  • What does Expressive Individualism mean for churches? And what specifically does it mean for church music?

    Here is the expressive individualism worldview: ‘Truth comes from inside me. It’s important that I look inside to discover who I truly am’ and ‘I need to express my individuality and personal truth to the world around me to receive validation.’

    That truth comes from within - is the unspoken assumptions of guests who come to our churches.

    And it’s a worldview that has impacts inside the church, including inside our music teams and inside the heads of the songwriters who write the songs that we sing.

    Philip Percival and Alanna Glover lead the work of Emu Music, focusing on writing congregational songs and the training of church musicians and leaders.

    Alanna is doing a masters research project in Expressive Individualism & music, and Philip’s PhD is in the biblical theology of worship.

  • Disillusionment is one of the great threats to the Christian life and to Christian ministry

    A wise man said the worst thing in ministry was not a pastor who quits, but a pastor who doesn’t quit, but who keeps going when they’ve given up.

    Sydney Missionary and Bible College Karl Deenick shares his own experience of hitting a major wall after seven years of pastoral work.

    We unpack how ministry challenges can lead to a sense of disillusionment, especially among millennials, plus a way back.

  • Roadmap for a reset communion - with Paul Donison and Glenn Davies

    The chair of Gafcon Laurent Mbunda and chair of Global South Justin Badi Arama are to meet to work out a roadmap for the resetting of the Anglican Communion.

    Global South Anglicans have endorsed the Former Sydney Archbishop Glenn Davies call for the communion to be reset on biblical foundations. The Global South have called on their Primates to work with the GAFCON Primates Council and other Orthodox leaders to reset the communion on its biblical foundations as a matter of urgency.

    In other Anglican news.

    The Church of England General Synod is meeting in York. They are considering whether to press go to move towards the next stage of endorsing their bishops’ proposals for same sex blessing. Orthodox Anglicans united under a banner called The Alliance are calling for structural differentiation in England (essentially a new province). The Bishop of Oxford has hit back telling The Alliance to take a running jump.

    Orthodox Anglicans from across Australasia gathered in Brisbane last week. New daughter churches are being planted within the fledging diocese of the Southern Cross.

    A new Archbishop appointed to lead the Anglican Church of North America. Steve Wood will replace Foley Beach.

    A collective meeting of orthodox leaders in Cairo has met for a week on ways that faithful christians might be able to reset the Communion.

  • All the time in church there are unexpected things happening. We or someone else makes a decision to change something which then relationally or missionally impacts another area of church life that we didn’t expect.

    Sometimes we put too much attention into one area of church - and now other areas are suffering.

    Whatever size your church is - the church system is complex, interdependent and interconnected.

    Sometimes the presenting problem won’t actually be the real problem, there’s something else causing it which is not immediately obvious.
