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.
