LGBTIQA+ Diversity Training for
Parishes and Churches
When: Saturday 21st November, 1-5pm
Where: St Nicholas Anglican Church
Cnr Beach Road x Poynter Drive, Duncraig
With the recent comments from His Holiness Pope Francis
in support of Civil Unions for same-sex couples, attention
has once again been focused on how the Church includes
and loves LGBTIQ+ people.
Following our Apology to LGBTIQ people at Synod 2017,
the Perth Diocese has sought to be a welcoming and
inclusive place for all people and a space where
LGBTIQA+ people will feel safe.
This professional workshop, led by the Sexual Health
Headquarters will provide the information and skills to
make your parish welcoming, inclusive and safe for all
people regardless of sexual or gender diversity. It has
been customized and expanded for a parish setting with
the help of the Reverend Peter Manuel, rector of St
Andrew's Subiaco.
The workshop and the serving of refreshments afterwards
will be conducted under Covid-safe guidelines.
Please RSVP on 9425 7276 or src@perth.anglican.org
There are flyers in colour and black and white and the
event is on facebook

3. Sweep Clean the Rooms of Our Heart
The aim of this reading group is to grow deeper into our
personal spirituality, into deepened inner freedom. The group
is suitable for everyone who has been put on a spiritual
journey, and wants to further explore the dialogue between
our inner and outer Source. Following Merton’s example, we
will practice self-reflection by ways of journal writing, and
creative journaling.
When: Thursday 5th November 9am to 11am
Where: The Chapel
The group is open to new members. Please let Sylvia know if
you are joining, or call her for queries.

National Anglican Family Violence
Project
Help us to build a safer and more supportive Anglican
Church for people who have experienced domestic
violence. Join a research project aimed to help improve
church practices. If you have had an experience of
domestic violence and a current or previous link with
the Anglican Church, please share your perspective.
The survey is anonymous and anyone can take part. Go
to survey.ncls.org.au/NAFVP/experience to find out
more.
Intimate Partner violence is defined by the WHO as
behaviour within an intimate relationship that causes
physical, sexual, or psychological harm, including acts of
physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse
and controlling behaviours.
If you or someone you know is experiencing or has
experienced family or intimate partner violence, you
can call 1800-RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for confidential
information, counselling and support. You can also visit
https://www.1800respect.org.au/
Violence isn't always physical and family violence is
found in all communities, even ours.
