In time for this year’s gathering of the Sydney Synod, The Australian Church Record has released their Synod edition of the ACR Journal.

The theme of this issue: Be Careful How You Build.

“As leaders in Sydney gather for Synod and consider the future shape of our churches, we must ask: are we building with gospel wisdom?

Inside this issue:

Lionel Windsor & Andrew Heard wrestle with the role of secular wisdom in ministry—helpful or harmful?
Raj Gupta examines Synod reports and challenges us on whether we’re truly assessing the health of our local churches.
Mal York questions whether we’ve applied 1 Timothy 3 rigorously enough in determining who preaches.
Phil Colgan asks: Are we settling for being ‘just a bit better’ than the world, or embracing the radical call of Christ?
Andrew Barry cautions against delaying obedience to God by clinging too tightly to the letter of the law.
Two interviews explore what authentic Anglicanism looks like today and trace key moments in evangelical history.
Robert Doyle reviews a new Matthias Media release on the Nicene Creed.”
