Name badges help make St Paul’s an

inclusive community. If you need a new

name badge, fill in the form inside the

pew sheet, send it to the parish office,

and one will be made and left in church

for you.

Toilets are available at the entrance to

the parish hall, which is located behind

the church.

First aid kits are located on the wall of

the kitchen in the Large Hall behind

the church and in the choir vestry.

Ask a member of the clergy or anyone

who’s wearing a name badge. We’re

here to help.

As you take your place in your pew,

please make yourself aware of the route

to the nearest emergency exit. Should

there be a fire, leave quickly, turn right,

and assemble by the roundabout on

Burwood Road.

People needing wheelchair access can

enter St Paul’s most conveniently by the

door at the base of the belltower.

Please turn your mobile phone off or on

to silent before the service starts. It’ll

save you much embarrassment later on.

Children are welcome in church at any

service. There is a selection of

children’s books and toys at the back of

the church near the font and there are

also kids’ activity sheets and pencils

available at the back of the church

where the pew sheets and prayer books

are.

Children’s Church runs during Term

Time. Meet at the back of the church at

the beginning of the 9.30am Eucharist.

Please feel free to bring your children to

the altar rail to receive a blessing, or to

receive Communion if they have been

admitted to the sacrament.

Please do not take photos

inside the church or during the services

of worship without permission.

The new hand rails have been installed this afternoon at both the West

Entrance and the North West Entrance to the Church.

These have been paid for out of the National Trust account.

They look fabulous, matching the old ones, and are much more safe

and user friendly.

Thank you to Pam for organizing this for us.

It is wonderful how much work we have been able to achieve on our

buildings and grounds over the past five years and this comes down to

a lot of hard work, generosity from so many, trust in God, and our hope

for our future.

Here's to the future.

With every blessing.

Peace,

James.

The games night in the Rectory on Friday, 21st July was a great success.

After eating ‘bring and eat’ meal 18 happy people were ready to play.

There was a quick game of Scrabble whilst waiting for everyone to arrive.

A new game called ‘Articulate’ was tabled and being a team game the

group chose it. It is a popular board game and great fun for 4 – 20+

people of all ages. The idea was to describe as many words as possible

to your teammates in 30 seconds. They have to guess what the word is

being described. There are several categories e.g. world, nature, and

people. This was quite hilarious and a fantastic game which can be

played by so many people.

There was another game going on as well with a group of 4. This was ‘Star

Realm’ which is a fast paced deck building card game of outer space.

What a wonderful night with scrumptious food and fantastic fellowship.

of the Lord 15 The prayer of faith will save the

sick, and the Lord will raise them up; and any-

one who has committed sins will be forgiven.

If you would like to be anointed and to be

prayed for then please ask one of the Priests in

the Parish so that you can be anointed during

any of our Services.

JULY 25 2017Male headship, which is a non-negotiable article of faith

amongst Sydney Anglicans and many Protestant Churches, notably non

-aligned Baptist Churches, has received considerable recent attention

as a result of the journalistic investigation conducted by Julia Baird.

Julia is not an anti-Church polemicist, quite the contrary; she and her

instantly recognisable family are themselves active in their Christian

faith and Church attendance,

Julia’s investigation has shown an existential link between this article of

faith and the practice of domestic violence. It is hardly surprising

therefore that Church leaders, including the Archbishop of Sydney in

their defence of this ‘biblical verity’ have argued that any connection

between it and domestic violence is the result of a total misunderstand-

ing. But is this defence believable? A spirited defence of headship is

required by those who hold it because of their understanding that the

proposition is not simply a vague doctrine amongst many others, but

rather an essential pillar undergirding the very order of creation.

I have no doubt that the vast majority of Christian men who espouse

this doctrine find any form of domestic violence repulsive and in their

marriages are genuinely loving; practicing a principle of equality to

the very best of their ability.

However, there is no getting away from the reality that the flip side of

headship is subjugation. If biblical headship in fact means the one who

holds this responsibility, is the chief servant and puts himself last, as

the Archbishop would have us believe, then I suggest another word or

metaphor should be found to express this truth. But this is not what

those who espouse this doctrine mean. They mean that the male is the

head in a manner that women can never be. This is expressed in the

Church through insistence that women should not be licensed to

preach, or teach, or hold a position of authority over men. Women are

Page 26: Tuesday 1st August at Saturday 5th August at 6pm W · Infographic 8.00 am – Sung Eucharist 9.30 am – Parish Eucharist Tuesday 1st August at 1.15pm – Lunchtime Recital: ... and

clearly subservient to men. Its implication in marriage is that men take

the lead in decision making. I grew up in a conservative evangelical

family where this doctrine was subscribed. It was a loving family and I

consider myself to have enjoyed a blessed childhood, but it was a fami-

ly situation in which my mother accepted with enormous grace and hu-

mility that subservience was her lot. It was her grace and humility that

formed her children.

On the 7.30 Report Archbishop Davies argued his case by saying that

men and women are different and there are things women can do that

men cannot and vice versa. The example he gave was that men cannot

have babies. Clearly there are physiological differences between the

genders, but it is a very long bow to claim that as a result of physiology,

relational or leadership roles are possible to one and not the other. It

seems pretty obvious that marriage roles are totally reversible and that

tasks or oversights undertaken by the woman in one marriage are more

suited to the man in the other and vice versa.

Is the doctrine of male headship arguable from scripture? Yes of course

it is. Does it therefore mean that is right? No it does not. There are many

positions that can be argued from certain biblical texts. Am I inferring

that scripture lacks authority? No I am not. What I am saying is that

scripture speaks to scripture and the overriding character or virtue re-

quired of followers of Jesus is a lack of ambition to do anything other

than to serve. It cannot, indeed it must not be the implicit or explicit

teaching of the Church that anyone has the right, let alone the mandate,

to lord it as ‘head’ over another.

Whether or not there is some ‘misunderstanding’ of the doctrine is not

the point. The inference of headship is not acceptable because of the

connotations it carries. Male headship has carried cultural accretions

over the years which have taken a long time to be abandoned, some-

times requiring enormous energy. Many would argue, with justification,

there remains a long way to go. It is not long ago that female suffrage

had to be fought for. Traditional marriages carry symbolic images of

women being passed from one male (parent) to another (husband).

Page 27: Tuesday 1st August at Saturday 5th August at 6pm W · Infographic 8.00 am – Sung Eucharist 9.30 am – Parish Eucharist Tuesday 1st August at 1.15pm – Lunchtime Recital: ... and

While this meaning is not front and centre in the minds of modern

brides, nevertheless the ‘giving away’ and the veil carry the inference

that female identity is derived through the male.

We in Australia have to be honest in admitting that domestic violence is

endemic and that it is present across all economic, social, racial and

religious communities. Sadly it is most often present when the family

unit is under stress through disadvantage, crisis, change of status and

inequality. Statistically domestic violence is most prevalent in

indigenous communities.

Any teaching that has the capacity for gross manipulation, however

wholesome it might seem to its adherents, should be abandoned.

Surely the quality one might expect in a Christian home of joint

responsibility and loving care expressed through and between parents

does not need to be loaded with a teaching that can have, and does

have some very cruel implications.

Genesis 29. 15-28; Psalm 105.1-11

or Psalm 128

Romans 8.26-39; Matthew 13.44-58

Each and every Christian baptised into the Body

of Christ shares with Jesus in his kingly, priestly

and prophetic nature, called to live out the divine

life we share in communion with him.

The prophetic office therefore is not left only to

our bishops and priests! Just as Jesus preached in his hometown, so too are

we called to share in this ministry, breathing words of prophetic wisdom into

our own communities. Jesus shares with his Church the privileged role of

calling out injustice, challenging sin and the powers of evil where we see it

in ourselves and in our community, and suffering persecution for Truth.

Pray that your life and the life of your parish may be transformed by the

gift of sharing in the prophetic office of Christ.

Give thanks for the Episcopal Church of Jerusalem and the Middle East.

strengthen us to help shape a parish

where diversity is a source of

the hum of the universe heard, and

together with you and each other we

build what is beautiful, true, worthy

your kingdom. Amen. (Ted Loder)

link we are establishing.

Pray for the Church’s mission:

Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out

your arms of love on the hard wood of

the cross that everyone might come

within the reach of your saving

embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit

that we, reaching forth our hands in

love, may bring those who do not

know you to the knowledge and love

of you; for the honour of your name.

Amen. (Author unknown)

Pray for our Children’s Church:

The Lord said, ‘Let the little children

come to me and do not forbid them

Bless, Lord, your children who now

stand before you in prayer. Help them

to understand the depth of your love.

O Lord, bless our Children's Church

and all its future endeavours, that

through it we may glorify you with

your Father and the Holy Spirit, now,

always and forever. Amen.

Pray for peace: Lead me from death

to life, from falsehood to truth; lead

me from despair to hope, from fear to

trust; lead me from hate to love, from

war to peace.

Let peace fill our hearts, our world,

our universe.

Pray for all in need, Today we pray

for all those who have stopped

praying, or pray with little fervency.

them graces for praying again.
