PERTH ANGLICAN DIOCESE
DECLARES CLIMATE EMERGENCY
The Anglican Diocese of Perth has announced a Climate
Emergency at the fiftieth Synod, acknowledging the serious
threat of climate change.
Declaring a state of climate emergency aims to increase
awareness of the climate crisis that is effecting the livelihood of
vulnerable people and communities already, including our
neighbours in the Pacific, and mobilise resources to work to
mitigate climate change in the way governments would work to
address emergencies like war and natural disasters.
We have much to be grateful to God for of our natural world, in
Australia and beyond. It's our duty as Earth's stewards to adapt
environmentally smart practices in our personal lives, and
support those advocating for positive change.
Linda Blagg recently
made a video portrait
of parishioner Prof.
Peter Newman. Peter
is in the thick of it as
a member of the
International Panel on
Climate Change. In
this portrait, Linda asks him if he ever has a ‘dark night of the
soul'. The video is titled 'To Grasp a Global Hopeful Vision' and

GATHER
Gather is an event developed by ACYMC as a way to build
community within the 15 - 25 year old demographic within the
Diocese. ACYMC found that for many young people, the reality
of having a youth group in their parish was complicated. This
was due to there being too few other young people to make it
sustainable and a lack of leaders being able to help. Through
consultation with a number of Young Leaders, ACYMC is
excited to launch an event that will help to support the needs
of young people.
A request from young people was that Gather shouldnʼt try to
be a contemporary church service just for young people, but it
should be something more. Young people wanted something
fun where they could get to know other people from different
parishes. They wanted an event with sung worship with a
contemporary twist, but interestingly where they could hear
biblical talks that allowed them to discuss and ask questions to
the speaker.
The theme for the first event is ʻwhere do we go now?ʼ The
format will be a little different with Nick Russell (Chaplain of
Christ Church Grammar School) interviewing Gregory Seach
(Warden of Wollaston Theological College).
Date: Saturday 26th of October 2019
Time: 3:30 pm – 6:00 pm
Venue: Anglican Parish of Swanbourne-Mt Claremont

A REQUEST FROM THE GARDENERS
If you have a spare bag, or even half-bag, of potting mix
sitting about, please consider kindly donating it to top-
dressing the buffalo lawn of St Paul's amphitheatre. Bags
can be left near the garden shed on the north side of the
hall. Or they can be tipped anywhere on the grass,
especially the top level, and we can rake it out!
Thank you, Glenn Swift.
