Objectives The Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, which is the Australian National Christian Centre, has five objectives: 1 We seek to engage in ecumenical dialogue and joint Christian celebration, reflection and action, so as to assist all Christians to fulfil their common calling in mission, to the glory of the Triune God. 2 We seek to engage in inter-faith dialogue from a Christian perspective, particularly with the followers of the other major world religions, in Australia and regionally, so as to promote understanding and co-operation in these communities. 3 We seek to encourage further reconciliation between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians as a means of expressing a central tenet of Christianity. 1
3 4 We seek to engage in applied Christian theology, as a means of articulating a Christian response to the will of God in the issues of contemporary society and culture. 5 We seek to engage in the issues of Christian faith and society, particularly to support the engagement of young people Values and Ethos The Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, as the Australian National Christian Centre, will be: 1. a place of celebration for all Christians, and of dialogue between them and with those of other faiths and of none; 2. a place that honours the Indigenous peoples of Australia; 3. a place of welcome and hospitality for all seeking an encounter with Christianity; 4. a place of Christian research, study, meditation and prayer; 5. a place that seeks to provide hope and inspiration for our common future Strategies Following a review of the Centre s activities by The Walton Group in December 2009, the Board has developed a clear, cohesive strategy each year to help bring clarity to implementation of the Vision and to guide decision making. A Strategy was developed under the following headings: The Centre as a place of Pilgrimage and as a place of Indigenous reconciliation The Centre as a facilitator for expressing the passion and vision for young Australians The Centre as a host for interfaith dialogue and activity The Centre as a place of ecumenical celebration The Centre s relationship with the media The Centre as an academic and theological community The Centre and its relationship with church based NFP agencies The Centre and its Building Development program including its Third Stage Proposal The Centre s financial viability and funding support Broad strategic priorities including the development of the Centre as a place for Strategic Dialogue Current Position of ACC&C (a) Within CSU and its funding from CSU The Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture (ACC&C) is founded on an agreement (1998) between the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn and Charles Sturt University (CSU). The National Council of Churches in Australia (NCCA) supports the Centre through the office of its Chair and Secretary. 2
4 The Centre is situated at the edge of the Parliamentary Triangle in Canberra on a 99 year sublease from the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn to Charles Sturt University for the purposes of enacting the Vision and Goals of the Centre as set out in the Deed of Agreement. The Centre operates with substantial autonomy under the auspices of the CSU Council. It is run by a Board with delegated powers from the University, with the Board s powers including, inter alia: Approval of policies and procedures for the operation and management of the ACC&C and achievement of its mission, objects and functions Management and expenditure of funds Management of its assets. The structure is unique within the University. Under S16 (c) of the Heads of Agreement each member of the Board is required to be a person able to carry out, and be in complete sympathy with, the Mission and Objectives of the Centre. This effectively means a Christian of good standing. The University meets the full remuneration package and entitlements of the current Executive Director at Level E (Professorial Level), plus 17% superannuation. The current Executive Director of the ACC&C is also Director of CSU s Public and Contextual Theology Research Centre (PACT) and an adjunct professor in CSU s School of Theology. In these capacities the Executive Director contributes to research leadership, research and higher degree supervision in fields within theology which are closely linked to the objectives of the ACC&C. The appointee to the position of Executive Director may be considered by the University for conjoint appointment as Director, PACT and as a professor within the School of Theology. Additionally CSU supports the Centre through: Providing accounting, administrative, IT and other support All grounds and maintenance activities, apart from the maintenance of the Bible Garden, the maintenance of which is paid for from the Bible Garden Memorial Trust. All insurances, including public liability Utility charges Costs of operation of the Executive Director s motor vehicle when used for CSU purposes Support for consultancy studies, eg PwC study, Jane Walton Review Additional support through capital funding, eg $4.4m for George Browning House, the administrative building of the ACC&C, and $1.25m to upgrade the Pavilion, one of the ACC&C s meeting facilities. A Capital Expenditure Budget of approx. $10m has been allocated for a substantial new building development on the site. (b) Relationship with the Anglican Diocese In establishing and sponsoring the Centre within CSU, the Heads of Agreement states that the Diocese is furthering the Christian mission of proclamation, dialogue, teaching, hospitality, study, worship and pastoral care. 3
5 Under the Agreement the Bishop of the Diocese must approve the appointment of all Board members and is Ex Officio a member of the Board, as is the Vice-Chancellor of CSU. They together also have powers of removal of members from the Board. The Diocese has provided an asset of sub-leased land valued in excess of $30 million. This has been provided to CSU for the purposes of the Centre. Beyond this the Diocese does not contribute financially to the running of the Centre. (c) Potential Relationship with Government In 2011, the Centre undertook a Feasibility Study funded by Commonwealth Government and CSU. The Study found high levels of support in the community and amongst national leaders for the work of the ACC&C, especially its work in promoting social inclusion and in creating space within a democracy for religion and inter-religious dialogue. The Study made the case for Commonwealth funding for the infrastructure to house a National Centre for Social Inclusion and for a Great Space, a national meeting space on the ACC&C s site on Lake Burley Griffin. Follow-up discussions with the Commonwealth remain active but no capital funding has been provided to date. CSU has indicated that it is willing to make a cocontribution to the funding of the Centre for Inclusion. Currently, as part of the Government s response to the Feasibility Study, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and the ACC&C are negotiating the funding for an international Islamic Scholar to be located at the ACC&C to contribute to a program of interfaith dialogue. 2 THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 2.1.
