From the earliest days of the British Colony, Anglicans have been central to Australian schooling. Throughout the often bitter arguments leading up to the Public Instruction Acts of the 1880s, Sydney Anglicans have provided two fundamental pillars in education: a direct role in the founding and continuance of Public schooling; and the much smaller denominational private schooling sector. In the last 40 years, however, these long established roles have radically shifted. Anglicans now experience an increasingly troubled relationship with public schooling, but have seen an expansion in the private schooling sector. What role the Anglican church plays in education and society moving forward, remains underexplained, in contrast to the huge influence of it.

Timothy Swan, CEO of Anglican Aid, exhorted the students to remember the poor, as Paul did as he sought to follow Christ. Theological education is a causality of poverty and as followers of Christ it is a natural outworking of our love for him that we care for those in need. Will you, as a follower of Christ, continue to remember the poor?
