Community
In a rapidly changing world, it has never been more important for Anglicans to share ideas and listen to the stories from others about what it means to be an Australian Christian. A host of community building initiatives have been established at a national level to assist the 23 Australian dioceses in working together more effectively.
These efforts at conversation and cooperation take a number of forms:
- National conferences, where lay and ordained Anglicans from across Australia can meet together to engage with issues of current interest and concern;
- Seminars, where experienced practitioners and academics in their respective fields can assist the Church to better understand their common heritage, their shared outlook and joint task of engaging Australians with the Gospel;
- Networks, where those involved in a discrete area of ministry may share information and ideas, facilitate joint action and communicate with decision making bodies in the life of the Church.
Australian Anglicans have also developed a programme to fund innovative approaches to mission called, Engaging Australia.
We are also engaged in a variety of relationships with Anglicans in other countries, with Australians in other Christian traditions and who follow different faiths.
An important part of the Australian Anglican community are the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their organisation, NATSIAC.
