Book excerpt: At the time of Federation 98% of Australians identified themselves as Christians. Now only 5% regularly go to Church. The reasons for this steep decline in faith are broad - they include the failings of the Church itself; its relentless negativity and hypocrisy as well as misunderstandings about what belief entails. But is a post-faith society a good thing given that the alternative is often rampant materialism? This book will look at why and how mainstream religion fell off the radar and what the Church should/could do to redeem itself.

Download or read book Phenomenal Sydney written by Marcia Cameron and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Diocese of Sydney is admired, hated, loved, and feared. While often criticized as no longer Anglican, it has at its heart an adherence to classic Anglicanism. While to some it is a beacon in the darkness, to others it is like a threatening bushfire. It is very large, very wealthy, and very influential in other places. Its opposition to ordaining women priests, and, in many parishes, to women preaching, mystifies and angers many Anglicans within and outside its boundaries. What makes this diocese such a phenomenon? The answer lies in its history: in the men and women who shaped it, in a particular view of the authority of the Bible, and in the influence wielded by some powerful institutions that have prospered. Its energy comes from the Scriptural mandate for mission: to bring the outsider into the community of Christian people, but not to leave it there. To educate them in the knowledge of Christ in a variety of creative and imaginative ways. This book also looks at what Sydney has done badly. It may help readers to learn from its past achievements and its mistakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ preached a gospel of love and peace with justice. But the history of the Christian religion is littered with every kind of evil. What went wrong? How have we become a generation that is seeking God but rejecting organized religion? How can we rediscover the authentic message of Jesus? This challenging book explores the reasons behind the atrocities committed in the name of Christ. It offers the vision of Jesus as a source of radical renewal of individuals and societies. Author of the acclaimed Plan Be Series, Dave Andrews shows how we can be inspired by the model of Jesus' compassion, and his hunger for justice, to work with marginal groups for real transformation in our world.

Download or read book ISG 47 Christianity Worldwide 1800 to 2000 written by Jehu Hanciles and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1800 most Christians lived in Europe or North America, but by 2000 they came from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania. ISG 47: Christianity Worldwide 1800-2000 brings together voices from around the world to explore how Christianity grew and developed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Writers and theologians from each region of the globe lay out the history of Christianity between 1800 and 2000 in their part of the world, showing how repeatedly it was local believers who drove the changes in those centuries, both in sharing faith and adapting it to their particular culture - a Chinese Bible translator, Liberian prophet or Korean Bible woman is as significant as a British missionary or Italian pope. These histories include not only the wide range of European-founded denominations, but also regional innovations across the globe and particularly Pentecostalism, to give a comprehensive overview of Christianity's development worldwide from the 1800s through to the end of the twentieth century. Tracing connections and themes across continents, ISG 47: Christianity Worldwide 1800-2000 is ideal for students of theology and history learning about the development of Christianity around the globe, especially in the global south. Part of the SPCK International Study Guide series, it will leave you with a thorough understanding of how Christianity has changed and grown across the world over the last two centuries.
Download or read book Australia s Sovereignty and Unfaithful Governance written by Rev'd Dr Graham J Whelan OAM and published by Rev'd Padre Graham J Whelan OAM. This book was released on 2022-01-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main reason for this book concerns what I believe is an assault on our Sovereignty in Australia. My recent book and research ‘While Australia Sleeps’ documented the problems of immigration and people who cannot and will not assimilate.In this research I further comment on this serious issue.Before examining the main subject of this research:A Definition of Governance, Governance has to do with the action, function and the manner of governing with honesty and true justice to the punishment of wickedness and vice and the maintenance of our Christian civilization, Christian heritage and way of life with peace in accordance with our Constitution of The Commonwealth of Australia.This book concerns what I, and indeed many Australians would, consider to be a disgraceful decision by those who govern us.My research and concerns begin with comments made to our Federal Member concerning funds allocated to ’illegals’ detained on Manus Island. These people accused the Australian people that they were held “illegally”. n this research I will mention a dozen times or more the loyalty, courage, honour and endurance of our forefathers who gave their youth and lives for our freedom and peace we now enjoy in this wonderful land Australia.Also in this research I express my sadness of being offended, hurt and discriminated against by a Muslim person at Colo in Windsor, NSW Council area. The report was of great concern especially when we think of a pledge of commitment that immigrants were to abide by, as defined years ago by Chris Bowen.The above report showed on the Nine Network, A Current Affair (Tracey Grimshaw) 22/8/18, Episode 168. It was offensive. A self-styled Muslim group began illegal tree clearing and building at Colo, NSW. Council officers went to inspect, and the person in charge of the illegal work said: “my religion comes before any governance“ and “you dogs, I step on your Cross, your Cross is under my feet.” (They then spat at the Council officers). I am offended – this action is of great concern.When I was very young in the early 1950’s; I remember my parents had a kerosene fridge and always had kerosene lamps on standby in the kitchen at home. The reason – power cuts which occurred regularly until coal-fired power became more efficient and reliable in the State of New South Wales.I am disgusted with our recent State government’s attitude. The promise made to me several years ago by the then Deputy Premier of New South Wales, Andrew Stoner, about poles and wires was a lie. Renewable energy cannot surpass base-load coal fired power?Unfaithful governance is seen in the attempt to push the climate change debate – also a lie. Below I have included some comments by a true Scientist – Professor Ian Plimer:“24. Very cold minimum temperatures measured in 2017 by government agencies are expunged from the record or changed to a warmer temperature to show a warming trend.25. The fraudulent “homogenisation” of raw date, the inaccessibility of stored raw data, the deletion of large volumes of raw data, the opacity of modeling methods, the omission of validation past climate data, the uncertainty of measurement, claims of a consensus and the demonising of dissent all show that climate “science” has nothing to do with science but, rather, is post-modernist political activist thuggery. This historical temperature records may be nigh on useless. 26. If a public company “homogenised” their annual reports to show that a financial loss was “homogenised" to a profit, directors and officers of the company would go to goal. “Homogenisation: of temperatures has resulted in massive electricity costs and billions of dollars of subsidies. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.27. Taxpayers fund climate research and institutions like the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and universities.

Download or read book Being the Bad Guys written by Stephen McAlpine and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to live confidently for Jesus in today's world. The church used to be recognized as a force for good, but this is changing rapidly. Christians are now often seen as the bad guys, losing both respect and influence. In our post-Christian culture, how do we offer the gospel to those around us who view it as not only wrong but possibly dangerous? And how do we ensure that the secular worldview does not entice us away with its constant barrage, online and elsewhere, of messages about self-determinism? Author Stephen McAlpine offers an analysis of how our culture ended up this way and explains key points of tension between biblical Christianity and secular culture. He encourages Christians not to be ashamed of the gospel as it is more liberating, fulfilling and joyful than anything the world has to offer. He also offers strategies for coping in this world, with its opposing values, and for reaching out to others wisely with the truth.
