Gladstone Residential found a house! - Quetools

A Word from Bishop Godfrey
In recent years much good work has been going on to
strengthen the relationship between the Diocese of
Rockhampton and Anglicare CQ.
I am particularly grateful for the encouragement that Dr Philip
Shade, the CEO of Anglicare has given to this. For the last two
years we have had a joint gathering for senior staff of Anglicare
and Clergy, and last year we also had a dinner for clergy and
senior staff of Anglicare following Evening Prayer at Lis Escop.
Such interpersonal events of course give visible form to the
importance of our relationship, but it must be wider than this,
and involve supportive and ongoing links between the clergy and
people of the parishes and their local Anglicare staff.
At times through the years I have been aware of tension in this
relationship, with concerns expressed by people in the Church
regarding the more secular approach of Anglicare staff. I would
have to say that any such problem often comes as a result of the
Church neglecting the importance of fostering and maintaining a
good relationship. Very good people work for Anglicare, not all of
them are secular in outlook and even with those who are, good
friendship and support by Christians will commend the gospel,
but resentment or keeping distance will do precisely the
opposite. People in Anglicare are required to be sympathetic to
the Christian ethos and origins of the organisation, but are not
as such required to be Christian. We need them for the skills
they have, in order for us to be able to tender to the government
for the programmes we offer.
I would love Anglicare to be
more proactive in
. responding to areas of need
that exist in local
communities. This could
often be done in direct
partnership with parishes,
but such activities would be
outside the guidelines for
government assisted
programmes. This is where
Anglicare needs access to
untied funds that come
Bishop Godfrey Fryar
directly from the Church
and the community.
I know Anglicare would like to restart the annual
appeal, not only to the wider community, but also
to the people of the parishes. This will need the cooperation
of parishes, including in allowing direct
mailing to people on parish rolls. I believe it is
something we should support.
