Marmingatha – reimagaining the future

‘Re-imaging the future’

Given the current state of restrictions associated with COVID19 you might wonder what the future might bring and is this the time to be re-imagining the future.

‘Re-imagining the future’ originated in the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane in 2020, when some believed then that the ‘future’ to which they aspired was a post-covid world of 2021.

With some amendments the material has been adapted for use here in the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne and all parishes have been strongly encouraged by our Archbishop and Bishop to embrace the material as a method for clergy and congregations consider the question of the ‘future’ and our part in it.

Whilst we live in a time of uncertainty and ambiguity it is also timely to remind ourselves that God is always with us, and equips us even in these times.

This material is posted here so that we might all prayerfully consider it at our leisure. The Wardens, members of Parish Council and myself will work through the booklet this coming Saturday, 28th August and our brothers and sisters in Christ at St Pauls East Kew will make their journey with the material in early September.

I remain confident that God has a promising future for us all as we seek to the church at the heart of the East Ivanhoe.

Fr. John
