People & History
“On Anzac Day, we remember those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. To ensure that their memory — and all those we memorialise within our Diocese — is not forgotten or lost, we should ensure that the record of that memory (not just the physical object) is created, captured and preserved,” says Diocesan Archivist Michael Rogers
“Each year on Defence Sunday, we remember the work of our defence chaplains who, like my Uncle Bill stand on the frontlines of emotional and spiritual care…This year Defence Sunday falls on the 10th of November and I encourage you to think about how you might thank members of the Defence Force chaplaincy for their work,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
“Erecting memorials after World War I was one way of helping people come to terms with their grief, as well as expressing gratitude for the sacrifice and courage of the Diggers who served. The size of the monument at the Ma Ma Creek church reflects the sheer scale of loss experienced by one local Anglican family, the Andrews family,” says Denzil Scrivens from St John’s Cathedral
