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.

"Jesus is not simply the pattern for human flourishing." Andy Jansen shares how she was challenged in her evangelism by Joe Rogan's interview with Wesley Huff.

Until recently, I had never listened to The Joe Rogan Experience—one of the world’s most popular podcasts, hosted by American comedian Joe Rogan, who interviews an extensive variety of guests at length. I had also never heard of one of Rogan’s recent guests, Christian apologist Wesley Huff. De...

Dave Moore speaks with the ACR on his experience of ministry teams, why they matter for the gospel and what prompted him to write his new book.

Dave, thank you for chatting to the ACR. Can you tell us a bit about yourself and where you minister currently? What has been your ministry journey to date? I’m married to Julie and we have four awesome kids (the youngest is turning 17 soon). I started reading the Bible as a kid after a

“Hey there! Make yourself at home … forever.” Parenthood is ultimately an act of pure hospitality and, like any act of hospitality, brings both joys and struggles. Callan Pritchard recommends three very different resources to encourage parents along the way.

Being a parent is a joyful struggle. In my mind, it’s pure, undistilled hospitality: “Hey there! Make yourself at home … forever.” As with any act of hospitality, there can be so much joy—there’s a new perspective on the world to discover and appreciate as it forms and matures; a new hea...

Many of us admit to spending too much time on our phones. Kirsten McKinlay shares a resource that helped her to break up (and then make up!) with her phone.

Most of us admit to spending excessive time on our phones. Tony Reinke, in 12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You, warns that this habit reflects what CS Lewis called the “Nothing” strategy in The Screwtape Letters—a life consumed by trivial distractions, leaving little room for what truly matters...

Bronwyn Windsor shares some tested tricks and tips for getting new habits to stick.

We are creatures of habit. Our bodies thrive on routine—we get hungry at roughly the same times, we generally like routines, and we naturally form habits. This is by God’s design. Neuroscience confirms that repetition ingrains behaviours, creating neural pathways that make actions automatic. For...

As Moana 2 is out in theatres, we hear from Susan An on both the wonder and dangers of Disney movies...

I’ve always been a fan of Disney movies. As a child growing up in the 90s, I was there for every new release, ready to sing along to songs that would become classics. I haven’t yet seen the new Moana movie, but I loved the first one. I loved that it was set in Polynesia;

Callan Pritchard helps our hearts to come back to Christ this Christmas in this wonderful article—click here for an encouraging, heart-warming read!

We all know that Christmas is a great evangelistic opportunity. Yet with the gun going off to tie up work, attend all kinds of events, plan gatherings, buy gifts, and somehow still function after it all … how could I ever add evangelism into the mix? Rather than tell you simply to ‘share the gos...

As Taylor Swift's Eras Tour comes to a close, ACR platform editor (and self-confessed Swiftie) Kirsten McKinlay reflects on this global phenomenon...

“I don’t care what anybody says. All Swifties should get a day off on December 9. We are mourning. This is worse than any breakup ever.” So said a reel I recently sent (in jest) to my friend and fellow Swiftie. For any Taylor Swift fan, the sentiment needs no explanation. But for those who

Hannah Blake reviews a book that many people are talking about at the moment. Find out her insights on Comer's well articulated question but somewhat misguided solution...

Recently I’ve noticed a lot of discussion surrounding John Mark Comer’s latest book Practicing the Way, and more generally around discipleship and formation. Many of us are asking questions about what it really means to follow Jesus, or to be his disciple, or to ‘apprentice’ with him. What d...

“The debt we owe to this faithful disciple and Bible teacher is truly incalculable. He taught us how to read the Bible as a whole, to understand its big picture of ‘biblical theology’ … He taught us to think about church the way the Bible speaks about church rather than to impose our traditi...
