Vale Allan Bryson
Dr. Allan Bryson died on Monday 17th February, in his 100th year.
He was, for many years, a stalwart member of the Anglican Church League and its Council, and served the cause of Christ in the Diocese of Sydney fearlessly in Standing Committee and in many different capacities. He was a long-serving member of the Presentation Board, and was also a member of General Synod Standing Committee and its Doctrine Committee.
Dr Bryson’s funeral will be held at St Andrew’s Roseville, at 10:30am on Monday, 24th February, 2014.
Members of the Anglican Church League, and many others, give thanks to the Lord for this faithful servant.
From his funeral notice: “The LORD preserves the faithful. Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.” – Psalm 31:23-24.

Moore’s newest students called to proclaim Christ
“One of my favourite quotes about preaching, one I fear you will get tired of hearing if you spend four years with us, comes from a congregational minister and head of a theological college from the early twentieth century. James Denney insisted,
‘No man can show at one and the same time that he is clever and Jesus Christ is mighty to save’.
You have to make a decision — early on in your ministry — that it does not matter if you are entirely forgettable. What matters is that Christ is known. I’m going to be drawing attention to him or to myself. I can’t do both.”
– Moore College Principal Mark Thompson addresses the college’s newest students.

Ordinands get ready for the big day
“A group of 35 men and women will be ordained as deacons on Saturday, taking positions from church planting, indigenous ministry, school chaplaincy to parish work.
Archbishop Dr Glenn Davies has been addressing the group this week at the pre-ordination conference and will ordain them at a service at St Andrew’s Cathedral on Saturday, February 1st, 2014 at 10am.
The number is one more than were ordained at last years service. Sydney Anglican churches are being asked to remember the ordinands in prayer.”
– See the full list at SydneyAnglicans.net and take the time to pray for these brothers and sisters.

Praying for ‘Jesus Brings’
This weekend, Anglican churches across Sydney and the Illawarra will be uniting in prayer to the Lord of the Harvest as we commit into his hands the “Jesus Brings” mission.

100 Beaches Challenge
Here’s something different from The Archbishop of Sydney’s Anglican Aid…
“In February 2014, David Mansfield, of Anglican Aid, and a team of young and old surfers will surf the 100 beaches of the Sydney Diocese in 10 days.
Our aim is to raise 1 million dollars to help break the waves of poverty that engulf communities in our own city and throughout the world.
Please join us at any beach on the hour to pray for God’s work throughout the world. Follow it up with a swim or surf. Come to one of our evening meetings near the beaches where we have visited throughout the day.”
