Anglican Ways Group

Minutes of a Meeting of the Anglican Ways Group held in the Sunday School Hall of St John the Evangelist Church Bishopdale, on Tuesday 5 February 2007, at 10:30 am.

CHAIR: Fr Bob Peck.

OPENING PRAYERS: Bob.

PRESENT: Bob Peck, Jenny Daniels, Michael Ladd, John Fisher, Jillian Fisher, Charlie Batterbury, (minutes).

MATTERS ARISING:

Advertising for the Marla Hughes Seminar was put in the Press by John Fisher.
There was discussion on the arrangements.
Parishes were advertised by email. Each time there is an emailing, some more emails come back as wrong email or undeliverable, ones which went ok last time. So this happened this time too.
Lynda Patterson and John Bruerton seminar dates..
For John Bruerton, suggest 5 June. Bob will check for availlabiliity and topic.
For Lynda Patterson, suggest 4 September*. Jill will check availablility and topic.
Motion: “That Fr Bob Peck asks Mr John Bruerton to be our speaker on Tuesday 5 June, the topic to be negotiated by Fr Peck and Mr Bruerton, and that Rev Jill Fisher to approach Dr Lynda Patterson to be our speaker on 4 September and again topic to be negotiated with her. Time to be 5:30 for 6 pm”. John/Michael. Carried. * [Note, Jill checked, and date is now to be 11 September, not 4^th.]

GENERAL BUSINESS:

We should remind members a few days before, of an ordinary meeting.
Michael Wallace is being ordained Deacon on behalf of the Bishop of Dunedin by the Old Catholics in Geneva. John Fisher suggests we write a letter of congratulation.
A Labour Weekend Seminar was suggested, on the nature of human sexuality, because of all the misunderstanding and confusion re homosexuality. It would need to be done exceptionally well. Perhaps we could have a major teaching slot once a year.
NEXT MEETING: Tuesday 17 April, 4:30 pm in St Michael’s Lounge following Evening Prayer at 3:30 pm.
