Main Content

 

Welcome to this sacred space in cyber land.  There are no strangers in such a space, only pilgrims seeking to be attentive, to explore and to revere God’s presence.

Browsing through these web pages may you find the information you are seeking.  Cyberspace is a remarkable world – filled with figures and facts, words and images.  It is hard to be a pilgrim with such clutter around.  I pray that you may hold the ‘pause’ icon and with the psalmist pray:  “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers; the moon and the stars which you have established; what are human beings that you care for them?”

May you be touched by God’s web of care in Jesus who transforms each and all to see the “Love that moves the suns and the stars”.

Peace be with you

The Most Reverend Roger Herft

Archbishop of Perth

PHILIPPINES' FLOODS APPEAL
 
 
The affect was disastrous. An estimated 240 people were killed and 400,000 made homeless. In the Philippines on Sunday, one month’s rain fell in just 24 hours.
 
Worst of all, the Philippines’ floods have hit the poor the hardest. Almost one quarter of the country’s population live below the poverty line (AusAid). People who were already struggling will be battling hard over the coming days and weeks to get their lives back to normal.
 
In response to a call for donations from ACT International, the Anglican Board of Mission has launched an appeal for the Philippines floods. Donations to this appeal will go to the National Council of Churches in the Philippines to fund immediate relief efforts.
 
We are aiming to raise $50,000.
 
At the moment the Episcopal Church of the Philippines (ECP) is still trying to establish contact with some of the rural communities in the areas worst affected by the flooding. The ECP has formed a medical relief team to help the injured and are gathering food supplies to distribute.
 
Please pray for communities in the Philippines who are coming to terms with the worst flooding in years and for the relief workers who are struggling to get assistance to the neediest.
 
Donations can be made and more information is available by contacting ABM:
