Last night Archbishop Peter Jensen gave his last Presidential Address to the Synod of the Diocese of Sydney.

There was much encouragement as well as sober exhortation –

“I have never had such good opportunities in speaking to people about Jesus as in the last few three or four years. Our theory of Connect 09 is true – there are people everywhere who would like to know the gospel and will want us to befriend them. In particular lay people are ideally placed to quietly but confidently share Christ and show what a difference he makes.”

Hear (77 minutes / 53MB mp3) or read (PDF) Archbishop Jensen’s full address.

Video: – part 1 (first 35 minutes), part 2 (if you watch nothing else, watch the first 8 minutes of part 2).

It is well worth setting aside the time to hear or watch the whole address.
