Priesting

Well it has happened: On Friday 6th October 2006 I was ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church of Australia along with three others from the diocese in the Geraldton Anglican Cathedral. It is an honour to have this office entrusted to me - Please pray with me that I may uphold it dutifully. Practically what this means is that I can preside over the communion table and run a parish. However, for the foreseeable future, I will be continuing as the Assistant Minister in Broome.

The week in Geraldton was a busy one. I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 day clergy conference where all the North West Ministers came together to hear from Kanishka Raffel on 2 Corinthians and to be given some helpful hints on anxiety and depression from Dr Daniel Morkell. The Ordination service took place on Friday afternoon and by Friday evening we were sitting in our 2006 Synod (church parliament), which went through until Saturday evening. It was exciting that all the decisions that were made were from a biblical understanding with a real atmosphere of unity - praise God.

Praise God:

- For the great clergy conference, ordination and diocesan Synod
- For good times as a family while traveling

Please pray:

- For times of refreshment while on holidays
- For the Broome Anglican Community School's approval by the WA minister for education.
