1 Making the Word of God fully known 15 July 2015 To: Parishes and Clergy Dear Friends, Theological Education I write to commend two initiatives in Theological Education - the Ministry Support Fund, and Vocations Week. Vocations Week will be re-established in the life of the Diocese this year. The story of the call of Matthew, whose feast day is 21 September, provides an especially appropriate set of readings. For this reason, the week of September has been suggested as Vocations Week across the Diocese. The occasion can, however, be observed by parishes, and in other ministry contexts such as schools, on any day, and on any Sunday convenient. Further material, including a collection of resources for use during Vocations Week, will be forwarded to you and made available online, closer to the date. The Ministry Support Fund has been established to assist the church in resourcing ministry positions in areas of missional or social need. The attached brochure describes the purpose and intent. My hope is that you may be able to consider supporting the Ministry Support Fund from within your own ministry context, as well as making this initiative available to others known to you who may be in a position to consider supporting it through their own means. Some practical ways of responding may be: Take up a special collection, or plan for a retiring collection, for this purpose at a service, making use in particular of the forthcoming Vocations Week if you are observing this. Parishes in which there is an Induction may consider whether this is an appropriate place to direct the offertory, as some have already done. Hold a fundraising event, or special activity, in support of the Fund. Consider a parish donation at a meeting of the Parish Council. Invite the opp shop, or other fundraising activity you are involved in, if any, to consider supporting the Ministry Support Fund as part of any annual distribution of charitable funds. Donations to the Ministry Support Fund can be made in a number of ways: 1

2 Via the website using the Westpac secure giving gateway By completing and returning the attached ADF form The Director of Theological Education, the Venerable Dr Bradly Billings, is most willing to visit parishes as invited, in support of theological education in general, and vocations to ordained ministry in particular. Please contact his PA, Maree Scopelliti, to arrange this if desired. With my best wishes and prayers I commend this initiative to you. Grace and peace in Christ Jesus Yours sincerely The Most Reverend Dr Philip Freier Archbishop of Melbourne 2

5 FROM CALL TO ORDINATION Encouraging vocations Melbourne is changing rapidly, both in geographical spread and population. The profile of the ordained clergy of the diocese is also changing, as many who have served the church well approach retirement. To meet the ministry needs of our schools, agencies and parishes, and the missional needs of the people of greater Melbourne and Geelong, it is imperative that we, as a church, are proactive in attracting vocations to the ordained ministry. The men and women who will be our future leaders are already in our parishes, our schools, and other communities and congregations, some perhaps waiting for a gentle encouragement to test a call, and consider a vocation, to ordained ministry in the Anglican Church. o Facilitating ministry & mission The clergy the church needs in the future may, in one sense, look a lot like the clergy of today, but in another way, will probably look very different. As far ahead as anyone can see, there will be parishes, and clergy serving them, in the traditional pattern Anglicans have known for centuries. o o o The church also needs more and more men and women who will have the capacity and the gifts to revive existing congregations, and to pioneer and plant new ones, in areas of social, missional and other identified need. New ways of being church and of conducting our mission, for a 'mixed economy' of church giving rise to fresh expressions and other forms of non-tradiitonal faith communities, will be increasingly important. There is, and will be, an urgent need for chaplains, to work in the community, in hospitals, social welfare and caring agencies, schools, and other places.

6 Supporting the future of the church by supporting theological education Please consider assisting the mission of the church, and helping us to both meet and fulfill the 'great commission' of Christ, together with the vision and directions God has given our diocese. Training, equipping, forming During the period of training and formation, as students in a theological school or college, candidates for ordination are largely self supporting. This will normally be for a minimum of two years duration, and for many, might be much longer. The sacrifices made by those called to ordained ministry, and for many, by their families also, are often great, even prior to the moment of ordination and before a ministry appointment. Sending and resourcing The missional needs of our growing cities, and the people who live within them, are great, and becoming greater. Very often, the areas of greatest need are the least well resourced, both materially and financially. As our Lord himself said, 'the fields are ripe for the harvest... but the workers few.' The diocese urgently needs to develop the capacity to resource ministry in places where the harvest is ripe, and potentially plentiful, but the resources are lacking. Often, the potential 'harvesters' will be newly trained and ordained clergy, ready to plant new and fresh expressions of church and enliven existing ones. two areas of need 1. Giving to support students in necessitous circumstances Donations to the ministry support fund may be directed for the purpose of assisting students training for ordination from under privileged backgrounds, or who have experienced unexpected or temporary hardship. Donations for this purpose are tax deductible. 2. Giving in support of the training and deployment of new ministries Donations to fund ministry in general will enable the diocese to both train and deploy ministers to areas of particular social and missional need, which could not otherwise hope to sustain ordained ministry.
