“We realised that up until that point we had been letting homeless people sleep on our property — we had been doing things for them, but not really treating them as part of our community. By opening up our kitchen and inviting them to share our resources…made a significant difference, not just to them, but to us,” says The Rev’d Dr Ann Solari

“We have built personal and public spaces with a view to making adjustments for a disabled person later, rather than making them appropriately accessible and welcoming in the first place,” says The Rev’d Canon Jess Grant
“It would be remiss of me not to mention how the organist actually has a certain amount of opportunity to express a sense of humour. Examples of this include the time when I heard an improvisation unmistakably including the theme tune to Wallace and Gromit or when the postlude for the Feast of the Assumption was ‘Hooray and up she rises’,” says The Rev’d Dr Gemma Dashwood OAM
“As ordinary people living ordinary lives…we are part of the worldwide network of consumers who buy the products and services that make money for human traffickers. It is our responsibility as people who are called to love our neighbours to educate ourselves about where we are spending our money,” says The Rev’d Dr Ann Solari from St John’s Cathedral
“A walk with Sophie would always be a slow walk, stopping every few steps to examine a flower or a stick or a bug…or the ants,” says Bishop Jeremy Greaves
“Complexity means one plus one can be more than two, then two plus two can be a surprisingly large number. A complex system is more than its component parts, for out of the relationships between the parts new things emerge. A lichen on a desert rock near Thargomindah emerges from the interactions between a fungus and an alga that normally cannot live in dry air or full sun,” says Prof. Roderick Rogers
“Our community of faith ‘The Church’ has also become very complex. This leads to the call that as a community of faith we need to treat each other with more sensitivity, being very mindful and careful of what we say and do…Therefore, we need to be non-judgemental when our views do not align with the views of others around us,” says The Rev’d Rebecca from The Parish of Yeronga and the Anglican Board of Mission
