Australia Herald 2023 - Volume 1
This whole Australia Herald edition is about love that is at the centre of our faithful walk with Christ. It is about having courage to allow it to show up authentically in conversations and actions - Here, Now, Today as Richard Betts says. It is about us expressing it in solidarity with the marginalized and our earth as Steve Veazey shares and as Tyler Marz says it's about uniquely, divinely and authentically expressing God's imprint within us in community.
Australia Herald 2022 - Volume 5
In this issue a diverse group of writers provide their testimony of the significance for them of Advent and the birth of Jesus and of the relevance of the Christ event for today. Of course no one testimony can do justice to the Christ event or, for that matter, to the ongoing action of God in the world.
Australia Herald 2022 - Volume 4
In this edition you may find, like me, you are left with questions that make you focus on the essentials. Are we that nurturing community? Do our weary hearts still hold enough passion and vitality to listen for new ways of being church alongside the next generation? Can we sift through our old dreams, hold space for God’s vision and learn to ask the right questions?

Christmas season is here again! Traditionally, most of us look forward to this time as a time of celebration with family and friends, a time of reflecting on happy memories from times past, and a time to remember the birth story of the Lord Jesus Christ. This edition of the Herald includes all of this and much more, including some hints about loneliness, despondency and desolation that exist even in the midst of Christmas cheer.

“In this edition of the Australia Herald, we explore the times in our lives where loss and grief are present. This may well be, at least in my time, one of the most powerful and emotional editions of the Australia Herald. It highlights for me the blessings of community, and how much we can assist our neighbours going through loss or struggle by offering a listening ear and a compassionate heart.” Ben Smith
Australia Herald June 2021 - Engage
This is the question I hope you ask yourself as you read through these pages. ‘What is it that engages me in Christ’s mission?' What ignites my passion and that of my community? Is it the welfare of others, or healing or hospitality or wholeness or inclusiveness? Is it about bringing God’s Kingdom to earth? Is it about divine grace and seeing God in everything and everyone? Is it about helping humanity move forward?

Australia Herald March 2021 - Imago Dei
“This edition of our Australia Herald, rather than leave us in the despair of Good Friday with all its pain and suffering, takes us on a journey through Christ’s suffering, our own adversities and the despair of others to a place where we vision Christ in our midst.” Anne Bonnefin Letter from the Editor.
Australia Herald February 2021 - Friendship
“This edition of the Herald explores (that) beauty [of Friendship] through stories from around our nation, and indeed, the world. It’s an invitation to explore your friendships, how you foster and nurture them, and how you might value them. Our connections as a community are everlasting, and sustain us through challenging times.” Ben Smith, Letter from the Editor.
Australia Herald December 2020- January 2021 - Trust What is Being Born
Birthing New Beginnings "The pages here in this edition speak of new beginnings, vulnerability and trust, challenging us to undertake a journey of faith which is soulful, not one of simply holding onto our beliefs but reaching deep into them with questioning and wonder. From this place and with trust in God we learn to articulate a vision that speaks of both relationships and eternal things." Anne Bonnefin, Letter from the Editor.
