Australian Church Record

Australian Church Record The Church Record was first published in Sydney in 1880.

The Australian Church Record is an evangelical newspaper in the Reformed Anglican tradition of the historic creeds and the 39 Articles of Faith, and the standard of teaching and practice in the Book of Common Prayer. We accept the Scriptures as God’s word written, and as containing all things necessary for salvation and the final authority in all matters of faith and behaviour.

Phil Colgan urges us to rethink how we measure godliness in a post-Christian world. A timely, challenging read from our Synod 2025 journal.

Over recent years a lot of ink has been spilt considering the implications for Christians of the seismic changes in Australian society over the past 50 years. The reality is that we have seen a massive shift as our culture has moved further and further away from its Christian roots, such that we now...

With less than a month until Christmas, Leah shares practical tips for a Jesus-centred Advent.

With less than a month until Christmas, Leah shares practical tips for a Jesus-centred Advent.

I love Christmas. The decorations, the carols, the smell of cinnamon I force upon my household for 30 days straight. It really is my favourite time of year. But for a lot of parents, the mention of Christmas seems to bring heart palpitations and wistful thoughts of finally taking that cruise that ju...

The ACR spoke to James Delanty, rector of St Alban’s Leura, about how God has brought renewal and joy to this historic Blue Mountains parish — and how a vision centred on being “overflowing with joy in Jesus” is shaping both church life and community outreach.

When prayer becomes unlawful, will we still pray?
When obedience to God costs us, will we still obey?

The call is the same today as it was for Daniel: “He prayed, just as he had done before.”

A stirring challenge from Andrew Barry, published in the ACR’s Synod 2025 Journal.

Australian Christians face increasing challenges in balancing our obligations to civil authority and God’s word. The question of when to obey God rather than government has become one of the most significant issues confronting the modern church. What the government does is one thing; how the churc...

Rome urged Christians to mark 1700 years since Nicaea as a sign of unity. But a new book from Matthias Media shows that real unity is impossible while Protestants and Catholics read the Creed so differently—especially on Scripture, Christ, Mary, and salvation. Read Robert Doyle’s review of this insightful study.

The Nicene Creed: The nature of Christian unity and the meaning of gospel words is a carefully written, informed, and thoughtful examination of basic Roman Catholic beliefs following the implicit and explicit trajectory laid out in the Nicene Creed: the doctrines of the authority of Scripture, Trini...

Should we reject or reframe Halloween? Andy Bryan’s article offers wise, practical help for families—and a useful resource for ministers to share this season.

Why discuss this topic? As Halloween grows in popularity, it’s worth helping our children think about how to be in the world but not of it (John 17:15). This isn’t about everyone reaching the same conclusion, but about thinking theologically and guiding our families wisely. A brief history Hallo...

A bold new chapter begins: Gafcon declares the end of Canterbury’s primacy. Hear from Mark Thompson on this historic moment.

The recent announcement from the Gafcon Primates, The Future Has Arrived (16 October 2025), begins a new era in the long history of the Anglican churches. In 2008 Anglican bishops from all over the world gathered in Jerusalem to support each other in the mission of reaching the world for Christ and....
