Important - New Safe Ministry Check Declaration Requirements for Volunteers

Requirements for Volunteers

At the Diocesan Council meeting on 23 August 2018, Council adopted amendments to the

Safe Ministry Check (SMC) form.

Because of these amendments, volunteers are no longer required to complete a Statutory

Declaration as part of the SMC. Instead, they must complete an ‘Applicant’s Declaration’,

which must be signed but is not required to be witnessed.

From now, please ensure that all applicants for volunteer positions in your parish are

provided with the new declaration form, which is available on the Diocesan website under

‘Safe Ministry Checks’. The new declaration form for volunteers can be found here. The

current declaration form for Clergy and paid workers can be found here.

For further information, please contact Ben Oberhardt, Office of Professional Standards, at

Synod 2018 – Statement of our Mission

At the recent Brisbane Synod, the following motion was carried:

“That this Synod:

1. commends the statement of mission on the ACSQ Diocesan website; and

2. notes the statement:

a. is congruent with the Anglican Communion marks of mission numbers one, two,

three and five, with the fourth mark of mission being present in a truncated form,

and

b. contains supplemental mission statements on worship and living as the Church.

3. supports the extension of the ACSQ mission statement on justice to read, “To seek to

transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue

peace and reconciliation.” This will enable the Diocesan mission statement to both

strengthen its commitment to non-violent living, peace and reconciliation, and fully

incorporate the fourth mark of mission of the Anglican Communion into the Diocesan

statement of mission.”

Diocesan Council resolved to approve the change to the statement “Our Mission” and asked

that the Diocesan Website be updated. Would you please check all sites where the Mission

Statement is published and update accordingly.

After many years with our previous insurance provider, the Diocesan Insurances have moved to

a program managed by our new brokers JLT. This takes effect from our renewal date which is

31 October. From your perspective you should notice no change, as the vast majority of your

requirements will continue to be met as previously by our internal insurance team of Philip

Tolley and Mai Peregrina. Our website has been updated with new Certificates of Currency

which are accessible here and if your vehicles are insured through the Diocese then it is

important to be aware that the insurer has changed from Vero to QBE and the accident process

is accessible here.

We are expecting to issue the insurance invoices to you in early December this year. Pleasingly

this will allow those who choose to take advantage of our Interest Free Instalment Plan the

ability to spread your insurance contribution over 10 months which should have the effect of

smoothing the impact on your finances.

Should you have any queries please contact Philip Tolley on 3835 2256, Mai Peregrina on 3835

2227 or via email at [email protected].

Synod 2018 – Anglican Board of Mission

At the recent Brisbane Synod, the following motion was carried:

“That this synod:

the 2017 Archbishop’s November Appeal through which over $28,000 was raised to help

support the Province of Myanmar

$180,000 being raised for ABM again in 2017, amounting to 15% of the total donations

Appeal - an urgent need for resources at Yarrabah in North Queensland including to:

provide Faithfulness in Service Training

provide training in how to lead liturgy and use the prayer book, more prayer books

and Bibles and access to e-pray

continue repairs to the hall which is a neutral location for Christian Education and

other ministry activities

provide Resources such as the Bethel Bible Studies

provide Funds to send leaders to retreats and diocesan conferences.

assist in the provision of other Indigenous Grants

4. commends the Anglican Schools as they support ABM Projects

5. encourages the people of the Diocese to collect used stamps, the sale of which benefits

ABM by over $5,000 each year

6. gives thanks for the contribution of Bishop Bill Ray to the work of ABM in the life of the

Church in the Province of Queensland.”

Diocesan Council resolved to approve the promotion of the November Appeal within the

Diocese through Anglican Focus and Wednesday Weekly.

Archbishop’s Drought Relief Appeal This map of Queensland indicates the magnitude of the

drought and clearly shows areas in our own Diocese, and

beyond, which are suffering the most.

Statistics alone do not reveal the hardship and strain placed on

families living in drought affected regions. The challenge

involved in enduring prolonged drought is considerable. Faith

in Christ and drawing on collective resources to overcome

present difficulties helps enormously.

To that end, donations are sought for the Archbishop’s Drought

Relief Fund in order that some direct relief can be provided to

people in need, to be distributed through clergy and lay

leaders in parishes most affected by drought. These funds

complement donations to the Bush Ministry Fund, which

provides assistance to parishes that are experiencing financial

hardship, in order that they can continue to provide ministry in

the regions.

There are two ways to donate to the Archbishop’s Drought Relief

Fund:

1. Over the counter at any Westpac branch — BSB: 034 844

Account number: 000148582.

2. By EFT — BSB: 704 901, Account Number 00014858

Alternatively, donations to the Bush Ministry Fund:

1. By EFT — BSB: 704 901, Account number: 00013448

To apply for assistance from the Fund, please refer to the

Parish Claim Form.

Anglican Labyrinth Resource Group 14 NOVEMBER 2018, 10.30 AM – 12 PM

DARNELL ROOM, ST MARTIN’S HOUSE The next meeting of the Anglican Labyrinth Resource Group (ALRG) will be assessing

suitable `ways and means’ of making available useful Labyrinth resources and opportunities

for Labyrinth experiences amongst Anglicans in our region, as well as giving an opportunity

to simply meet and share our labyrinthian fellowship and ministry happenings. The ALRG is

an informal group seeking to encourage and support fellow Anglicans seeking to explore

and develop Labyrinth ministries. We seek to make it easier for Anglican Labyrinth

practitioners to develop their ministries, share resources and promote opportunities for

Labyrinth events.

If you have an interest in experiencing labyrinths, learning more about them or developing

further your labyrinth ministry, why not come and see for yourself? If you need any further

information or wish to be added to the group, feel free to contact Randal Dennings on

0408 878711 or [email protected]

JULY

FAITH360 As an early Christmas gift, we have two new Project360 Modules for you to explore.

FormedFaith recently put the finishing touches on these two intriguing modules and are

very happy to announce that they are ready to be road-tested in your parish, deanery,

school or agency. Take a look at this potted version then head on over to the FormedFaith

website to send us an expression of interest and we’ll make it happen.

FROM THE LAY EDUCATION OFFICE

FAITH360: The Puzzle of Paul takes us into the life and

person of Paul, the “founder of Christianity”. This day

long workshop investigates the legacy of this most

influential of Christians, including the impact he has

on our modern worship and understanding of Jesus.

You get a chance to consider the impact Paul has on

your own faith, and …. oh wait! we don’t want to spoil

the surprise at the end!

FAITH360: Faith Seeks Understanding is an engaging

introduction to theology. Participants will take a trip

through the ages to the early Church and get a taste

of the struggles of forming a church out of diverse

communities and across cultures. What have the

creeds go to do with it? What’s a heresy and how do

we know? Everyone gets a chance to do theology

too, to practice making connections between our life

and faith. It’s an interesting and fun day – a great

way to get to know others in your parish and

deanery!

Other news from FormedFaith is that the SFC Short Course: What Matters About Jesus has

received some rave reviews! This series of conversations with discussion questions is great for

use in groups or for your own reflection.

See what the fuss is about on the St Francis College website

here. Look forward to the new SFC Short Course: Being

Anglican, coming soon to a screen near you!

Provide safe environments for our people by keeping up to date and continuing to comply

with relevant WHS legislation. It is recommended that clergy, churchwardens, new parish

council members and parish administrators attend this training annually.

UPCOMING TRAINING DATES

Annual Parish Safety Management Training

Electrical Near Miss – see here for Safety Alert.

Parish Incident Reporting An important element of safety management is the reporting of Parish incidents. All incidents

involving workers, volunteers, contractors, Clergy or visitors must be reported immediately to

Parish Leaders. This is a requirement under the WHS legislation and is critical to ensuring a

safe Parish for all. The following incidents are required to be reported:

• No Injury Incident • First Aid Injury • Medical Treatment

• Near Miss • Property Damage • Notifiable Incident

• Psychological injury/illness

When an incident occurs, it should be recorded on the Incident Report form here. It is good

practice to conduct an investigation for all incidents to determine the cause and identify

appropriate actions to prevent a reoccurrence. Contact WHS where you require assistance or to

recommend procedural changes.

Definitions:

Incident - An unplanned event or chain of events, which has, or could have caused injury,

disease and/or damage (loss) to a worker.

Incident Classifications:

No injury incident - An event has occurred, however no injury was incurred at the time e.g. trip

or slip up the stairs. (Why it is important to report no injury incidents, some injuries such as

sprains may not become evident immediately).

First Aid - Application of first aid within the Parish (e.g. minor bleeding, scrapes, etc.)

Medical Treatment - Treatment from a doctor, ambulance or admittance to hospital

Near Miss - A situation or thing occurring that did not cause harm but could have resulted in a

serious injury or illness.

Community groups across Queensland are invited to say no to

domestic and family violence by hosting an event during

Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month in May next

year. Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family

Violence Di Farmer said applications for the 2019 Domestic

and Family Violence Prevention Month Community Grants are

now open. Grants of up to $5000 are available.

Domestic violence is a scourge on our society and impacts far

too many lives and too many have been lost to it. Every May

Queenslanders say ‘NOT NOW, NOT EVER’ to violence in our

communities as they raise awareness of domestic and family

violence. In 2019 the Palaszczuk Government has $150,000 in

one-off funding available to assist organisations and

community groups interested in hosting an event to raise

awareness of domestic and family violence.

In 2018, funds were distributed to 35 community organisations

to hold 43 awareness raising events, projects and activities.

Events were held in every part of the state. These events sent a

clear message that violence of this type is not tolerated and

that by working together, people can make a real

difference. While domestic and family violence impacts every

community, in 2019 we are also encouraging submissions that

focus on domestic and family violence for people who identify

as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex or Queer.

Domestic and family violence has a devastating impact on too

many of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities

and funding will be earmarked for events that raise awareness

of domestic and family violence in Indigenous communities.”

To apply for a grant, see here.

A selection of Anglican Church SQ uniforms are currently available at

clearance prices, with limited sizes remaining.

that a flag displayed at the cathedral was last flown in that

theatre of war. A very special programme is planned, including

for children. All welcome. Please RSVP to St John’s

Read, Wonder, Listen: Stories from the Bible for Young Readers /

with the words of Laura Alary and the pictures of Ann Sheng [2018]

“Laura Alary combines her gift for telling the biblical stories, with

historical research, contemporary concerns about language, and a

compassionate and inclusive theology. ... Read, Wonder, Listen will help

children, and the adults who love them, ask the big questions of life,

the same questions asked by the people in the Bible: Who are we?

Where do we belong? What are we supposed to do and who are we

supposed to be? Where is God? How does God want us to live? The

reason these stories have lasted so long, writes Alary, the reason they

were collected and saved so carefully, is because people have always

found in them something precious. Something that speaks to people of

all times and places. All of these stories are about the great Mystery we

call God. They tell of people who met God, wondered about God,

waited for God, and were surprised by God. That sense of wonder and

surprise is strikingly and evocatively captured in the full-colour

illustrations by Ann Sheng.” – Publisher’s description

READING WITH SPIRITUAL EYES You are invited to join our book club, Reading

your insights – so mark your calendars for Tuesday, 27

November from 5.30 pm – 7 pm. On that evening, the Roscoe

Library will host a discussion facilitated by Bishop Godfrey Fryar

around Boy Swallows Universe, and the next book will be

‘launched’. For catering purposes, please register here.

This could be an excellent addition to your family home, or for use with the children in your

NATIONAL RECYCLING WEEK NOV 12 TO 18

The National Recycling Week research guide explains why buying

recycled products is so important.

Now, more than ever, recycling matters. Australia’s waste is growing

around six times quicker than the population. The good news is that

recycling is growing at an even faster rate than waste. Which is

great. But to properly close the recycling loop, we also need to buy

products made with recycled content.

This guide has been produced to show households, businesses,

councils and churches just how to source and purchase products

made with recycled content and why it is so important. See guide

here.

ANGLIGREEN MEETING – ANNUAL END OF YEAR CELEBRATION

Sunday 9 December, 2pm at Curlew Park, Sandgate (Provisional)

Angligreen

But what if she’d said `No’? The Rev’d Dr Cathy Laufer

Professor Peter Sherlock, Vice-Chancellor, University of Divinity, Melbourne:

This book tells a series of marvellous stories rich in wonder. Drawing on the centuries-old

story-telling traditions of poets, playwrights and rabbis, the author invites listeners and readers

deep into the lives and events of the Bible. Each tale is both accessible to children and full of

wisdom for adults, opening up a new point of view or a fresh theological twist on a passage of

scripture that may be beloved or virtually unknown. The characters ring true, and many of

them are unforgettable as they - like us - wrestle with life and death, friend and stranger, God

and neighbour.

$19.95 plus postage. Order online here or speak to your local bookstore

Archbishop Phillip’s comment:

Stories have the power to transform, but familiarity can blunt their

impact. In this collection imagination and whimsy combine to prompt

fresh puzzlement that demands probing and pondering, the first steps

to who knows where.

Grants now open for Queensland Youth Week 2019

Applications for grants totalling $30,000 to run an activity, project or event during Queensland

Youth Week (April 3-14) next year are now open, and close on Friday 30 November, 4pm.

Minister for Youth Di Farmer said the grants of up to $2,000 allowed young Queenslanders,

local councils and not-for-profit organisations to put their ideas to help young people aged

12-25 thrive into action.

“During Queensland Youth Week we have the opportunity to watch our young Queenslanders

shine,” she said.

“It is a time to celebrate the positive contributions they make each and every day in our

communities to our state’s social, cultural and economic life.”

Now in its second year, Queensland Youth Week celebrates youth culture with a myriad of

activities, events and projects run by successful grant applicants, local governments and

community organisations.

Applicants are encouraged to apply for a grant that aligns with the four building blocks in the

Queensland Youth Strategy - supporting vulnerable young people; housing; healthy futures

and educating into employment - or put forward a project or event that tackles cyber-bullying.

“We want to support events that help develop our state’s young people in areas they’ve told

us are important.”

“Areas such as accessing secure, safe, stable and affordable housing or promoting good

physical and mental health,” Ms Farmer said.

“Projects that support young people to gain the knowledge and skills needed to get ahead and

prepare for a future in the job market will also be highly regarded.

Ms Farmer encouraged community organisations, schools and universities, local governments

and young people to hold events during the week, which has been extended this year.

about past events, and showcasing local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, arts and cultural

activities

community and Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples

encourage community participation and engagement

contribute to a statewide program of inclusive and innovative community events, initiatives and

How do you make sense of the faith tradition you've come from? How does your spirituality affect

your lifestyle and the kind of world you want to live in, or leave behind? Can we listen to Science

and still believe in God? Lujayn and Peter will host a conversation around the environment, science

and faith. Join us. We want to hear your story and see what emerges. This is a safe space.

Everyone is welcome. Thursday 15 November, 6pm, Darnell Room | St Martin's House

next door to St John’s Cathedral, 373 Ann St, Brisbane.

There is parking available and Central Station is 5 minutes away. Free event.
