Here is some further reading, recommended by our locum, Fr Ray Cleary:
Vaccination status in churches October 2021
As I mentioned in one of my earlier messages, I have been in a quandary as to how best to maintain safety for the congregation when we meet in person, while including and caring for all, regardless of vaccination status. The Diocese of Melbourne has now mandated the provision of separate services for both groups of worshippers. Here is a thoughtful discussion from the combined Anglican Theological Colleges, Ridley College, Trinity College and the University of Divinity.
Anglican Theological Colleges Joint Response on Vaccination Status in Churches
We need to forgive and be forgiven ‘every day, every hour – unceasingly’
by Dr Hugh Kempster. Vicar of St Peter’s Eastern Hill
Getting the ‘old white man’ out of our hearts
Our image of what or who ‘God’ is can so often be merely human projection, severely limiting our understanding of the Divine. This can prevent us from being open to experiencing Divine reality, and what it truly is, which in turn means we are unlikely to plumb the depths of our full humanity.
