We call ourselves a Communion. That means we have to struggle to reach unity of heart and mind. The problem for Anglicans at the universal level is the integration of leadership to achieve coherent thought. Anglicans are hesitant to pontificate: we are content to live with ambiguity – as we might experience God's transcendence in awe and wonder. These are some of the thoughts of Archbishop Peter Carnley, taken from his previous discussions of these issues. Archbishop Carnley is well-known for public consideration of the questions of leadership and authority, both in the Church and in the wider world. These questions, and other subjects, will be discussed in a stimulating and timely seminar; presented as a special event, outside the normal program of the Institute for Spiritual Studies. There will be an opportunity for questions during the evening.   Date Tuesday 10 July Time 7.30 - 9.30 pm Venue St Peter's, Eastern Hill, Melbourne Cost $15 (includes light refreshment) Conductor: The Most Rev'd Dr Peter Carnley, AO Archbishop of Perth and Primate of the Anglican Church in Australia Archbishop Carnley will be passing through Melbourne on his way to the General Synod in Brisbane.   Your attention is also drawn to the: Annual Celebration Commemorating Anglican Catholic Revival The Primate, The Rev'd Dr Peter Carnley will preach at A Festival Eucharist to be celebrated at 8 p.m., Wednesday 11 July, 2001.
