Anglican Church seeks input from survivors of domestic and family violence

People who have experienced violence from an intimate partner (or domestic violence) and who also have a current or previous link with the Anglican Church are being invited to contribute to a research project to help improve the Church’s policy and practices.

“Our Church is committed to supporting safe, loving homes and safe churches.

However, we recognise that domestic and family violence is a serious and widespread problem, with enormous individual and community impacts and social costs – and that the Church is not immune. Our Church seeks to improve how we to respond to these difficult issues” Reverend Tracy Lauersen, Convenor of the

Family Violence Working Group, Anglican Church of Australia.

The invitation to take part in this research is open to current attenders of Anglican churches as well as those who no longer attend. An anonymous online survey contains questions about demographics (such as age and gender), personal

experiences of intimate partner violence and ways in which the Anglican Church featured in your story.

A small number of people will also be selected for in depth face to face interviews.

The Anglican Family Violence Working Group has engaged NCLS Research to undertake the research which is titled the National Anglican Family Violence Project. There are three studies that make up the project. More information can be found online:

GUEST SPEAKER — GARY MILLAR

In a world where men are told to “Man Up” but they don’t know what that means, and they actually feel more like a “Man Down” or “Man Overboard”, it’s hard to know how to live the good life.

At CQMC20, we’ll consider what it means to live well and die well as God’s man in a challenging world as we look at Paul’s second letter to his young friend Timothy.

In this letter, Paul speaks man to man and tells Timothy to ‘man up’! 

He urges him to stick to the gospel, put in hard yards for Jesus every day, get over his insecurity and live to please God alone. Paul warns him that living for Jesus will never be easy, but that it is always worth it, because the gospel is the only real hope for men (and women) in this world. 

It will be a day of straight talking, upfront honesty and above all, a great reminder of the fact that God has already given us everything we need to be godly men in our challenging world.
