A Plenary Council for the Australian Church

Welcome to our updated pages on the 2020 Plenary Council (hereafter refrred to simply as  '2020'.) All of the previous content has been reorganised into a more logical flow and so you might like to take time to read through the various pages in the sequence, by using the NEXT button (or BACK). As we get closer to the launch of the 2020 at Pentecost 2018, more and more material will appear on thse pages, so don't forget to check baack regularly.
Australia has not had a Plenary Council for about 80 years, so it is something new for most of us, and it is something that we don't have a lot of information about...yet.  One thing we do know and understand though, is that if the Council is to have any positive and lasting effects on our Australian Church we have to be interested and involved. Every single person who sees themselves as part of the church, regardless of their activity or closeness to the church community needs to get involved, to speak up, and needs to ensure that their voice is heard.
On every page is a link to our submission page, where you have any opportunity you want to contribute thoughts, comments, criticisms and affirmations to our parish discussions - please make sure you take up our invitation.
