“The observance of Refugee Week invites us to recall their humanity, to ponder how their humanity might touch ours, and to challenge the narrative that we like to tell ourselves about being a generous country,” says The Very Rev’d Dr Peter Catt
“Like Robert Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar from which it takes inspiration, EO is bleak in its prognosis on humanity, but it’s hard not to be seduced and mesmerised by Jerzy Skolimowski’s bold directorial style and the narrative’s lean efficiency,” says new anglican focus journalist Ben Rogers
“I think it should be an absolute foundation in a faith-based organisation to have that collaborative, co-operative, compassionate approach…this culture of comprehensive Anglicanism within the Anglican Church Southern Queensland opens the doors for reaching out and embracing people who are different,” says St Francis College Dean of Students and lecturer Dr Sheilagh O’Brien
“Working in this Thread Together environment, it’s really exciting to be able to see Anglicare Southern Queensland as well as an Anglican church working together…It’s a wonderful partnership and it’s exciting to see it operating so successfully,” says Kate Littmann-Kelly.

“I became involved with Sleepbus in September last year after listening to an interview on the radio with a Sleepbus volunteer. My husband, Chris, and I relocated from Sydney to Buderim in 2022. After arriving I prayed that the Holy Spirit would lead us to a form of ministry where we could serve others. I believe it was God’s spirit and my sense of Christian social justice that led us to become involved with Sleepbus,” says registered nurse Michael Chittick from St Mark’s, Buderim
“In the face of such bigotry, persecution and extremism, Christians are always called to stand with and protect ‘the least of these’. Every single one of us is created in the image of God. So to love God we must love one another – showing compassion, courage and generosity of spirit. It’s really that simple,” says Bishop Jeremy Greaves
