Church Record, October 2013The latest issue of The Australian Church Record is now out.

“Every now and again ancient institutions can be forgiven for indulging in a little public self-reflection.

On January 1st, 1914, the first issue of ‘The Church Record: A Church Paper for the Commonwealth, Catholic, Apostolic, Protestant, and Reformed’ appeared, sixteen months after a Sydney group first met to float a company to run a federal paper.

As the centenary of this issue draws nigh, it seems fitting to reflect a little on the Australian Church Record as it is poised on the edge of its next one hundred years.”

– as well, there are articles on the General Synod, GAFCON, Archbishop Welby, and there’s a tribute to Bishop Dudley Foord. Downloadable from their website.

And in a reprint of an article from 1972, Bishop Donald Robinson looks at the names behind The Record in the early days.
