Archbishop ’s welcome
Welcome to the website for the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane. I hope that this site serves as a virtual window to the many missions, pastoral activities and commissions that aim to serve the broader community in the name of Christ.
The Diocese of Brisbane includes an area of more than half a million square kilometers and is home to more than two million Queenslanders. To serve our community within this region we have 467 clergy and 305 churches.
As web-based communication continues to gain in its importance in informing and uniting people across the globe it is my hope that you will find this site useful and instructive.

I began the second of these plenary addresses with a reminder of the question, ‘What is Lambeth ’08 going to say?’ And I suggested that we also needed to ask ‘Where are we going to speak from?’ I hope that in recent days there has been some growing clarity about both of these questions and how we answer them : but today there is no avoiding the question of the central message, and I have the rather dangerous task of trying to discern some of what that message might be and to share with you what I perceive. I’ll do this by moving from the obvious and more superficial level to what I hope is a more fully theological perspective, so bear with me on the journey - even in the middle of a summer afternoon!
