25.01.2022 The arrival of the next newsletter is running a little late, apologies. I just came back from a three day retreat led by Br. Ghislain of Taize in Wollongong. It was a beautiful ecumenical experience and you will be able to read all about it in the next newsletter which will hopefully be coming out in the coming days. Besides Taize news there will be a little preview of the coming Visit of Olav Fykse, The General Secretary of the World Council of Churches and hopefully some ne...ws regarding the start of an ecumenical dialogue group here in Tasmania. The picture I have included here is the "Easter" window in the Church of Reconciliation in Taize. If you would like to know more about Taize you can go to Taize.fr/en or you may want to experience Taize prayer at; All Saints Anglican Church in Hobart, Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Launceston or St. Lukes Anglican Church in Evandale.

23.01.2022 Reconciliation the love of Christ compels us

21.01.2022 Now I know the Annual Meeting is over, but I had one more church lined up to go, so I'll have to add that one. St. John the Baptist in Buckland. The cover photo, as you probably noticed, is a stained glass window from this church. This window is allegedly a medieval one which a former vicar of the church brought over with him from England.

19.01.2022 A wonderful and blessed Christmas to everyone. This is the nativity window in St David's Cathedral. It is the window directly above the main door. The Picture at the top (On our main page) is a mural in the "Lady Chapel", the side chapel at All Saints in South Hobart. All these artworks remind us of Christs continuing presence in the world and that God makes all things new. With that a blessed New Year to you all.

19.01.2022 The Julian and Gregorian Calendars Line up this year. Meaning that for 2017 Eastern and Western Christianity agree on the date of Easter. So the Orthodox celebrate Holy Week on the same date as the Catholics, Anglicans and Protestants do. The next time we celebrate Easter in unison (unless we agree on a date before then) will be in 2025.

16.01.2022 The Scripture Union Tasmania (SU Tas) Fundraising Dinner with John Zeckendorf is coming up in 11 days on the 9th of October in Hobart! This is our major event for 2017, and our speaker John Zeckendorf, Christian, mountaineer, and the first Tasmanian to climb Mt Everest, will be speaking about overcoming challenges and how we can give hope and ‘move mountains’ for our young people. The event will be held at the Hobart Showground, starting at 6.30pm. This will be a wonderful ...evening of dining and entertainment as well as raising vital funds for the work of SU Tasmania through camps, missions and our school activities. We want to connect with as many Tasmanian churches as possible so that no one misses out! John will also be speaking in Ulverstone and Launceston on 23 and 24 November. Details and bookings are on the SU Tas website at www.sutas.org.au/dinners

14.01.2022 The allegedly medieval window of Buckland!

14.01.2022 A once in a lifetime opportunity here in Hobart. Go and have a look while you can. Eastern Orthodoxy find the first instance of an image or icon in the Bible when God made human beings in his own image in Genesis 1:26-27. Jesus Christ himself is called the "Image of the Invisible God" in Colossians 1:15, and is therefore in one sense an icon. Since people are also made in God's image we are considered to be living icons and are therefore "censed" along with painted icons during Orthodox Liturgy.

11.01.2022 After a series of technilogical difficulties the newsletter has been released and should be available on the website tcctas.org.au

07.01.2022 Please find below a link to a survey that is seeking to gather information about current attitudes to the role of spiritual care in hospitals from a broad range of stakeholders in health care across Australia. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RTVGXVV The data from the survey will be used to inform a national consensus conference Enhancing Quality & Safety: Spiritual care in health to be held 1-2 June 2017. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

03.01.2022 The World Day of Prayer is an international ecumenical Christian laywomen’s initiative. It is run under the motto Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action, and is celebrated annually in over 170 countries on the first Friday in March. The movement aims to bring together women of various races, cultures and traditions in a yearly common Day of Prayer, as well as in closer fellowship, understanding and action throughout the year. The host country is the Philippines and the theme, prepared by the women, is Am I Being Unfair to You? The scripture reading for the service is Matthew 20:1-16. The Bible study texts are Matthew 20:1-16 and Numbers 27:1-11

02.01.2022 Advent is a season observed in many Western churches as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. The term is a version of the Latin word meaning "coming". Advent is the beginning of the Western liturgical year and commences on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, the Sunday nearest to St. Andrew's Day (30 November), in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, and in the Anglican, Lutheran and Uniting Church calendars.... Practices associated with Advent include keeping an Advent calendar, lighting an Advent wreath, praying an Advent daily devotional, as well as other ways of preparing for Christmas, such as setting up Christmas decorations, a custom that is sometimes done liturgically through, for example, a hanging of the greens ceremony. The equivalent of Advent in Eastern (or Orthodox) Christianity is called the Nativity Fast, but it differs in length and observances, and does not begin the liturgical year as it does in the West.
