Defence
Sunday
“Defence
Sunday” is held annually on the Sunday nearest to Remembrance Day (11
November). Its purpose is to:
-
draw
attention to the spiritual needs and wellbeing of those who serve in
the Australian Defence Force (ADF) as sailors, soldiers or airmen;
-
foster
prayerful support within the Churches for those who serve the nation
through ADF service;
-
encourage
clergy to consider service as full or part-time ADF chaplains; and,
-
build
bridges of cooperation between the Anglican ministry to the ADF and
diocese and parishes across the country.
Anglican
ADF Chaplains and General Synod Defence Force Board Members are available
to participate in parish worship as deputationists. To arrange an ADF
deputation, please contact the Bishop
or the Service Archdeacons
on the telephone numbers as listed on their respective pages.
