Anglican Parish of Gosford

Anglican Parish of Gosford Love God. Follow Jesus. A place for everyone We are a Christian community. We take the bible seriously, but not always literally. We welcome seekers and skeptics.

This page exists to help people explore a more “progressive” expression of Christianity and to advocate for social justice. We generally avoid entering into Facebook discussion with those of significantly differing views, as there are other, more appropriate forums for those conversations. Many of our on-line community are gentle souls so as a duty of care to them; people who post ugly ha

teful or deliberately off topic things will be banned. This page is intended for people over the age of 18. In church on Sundays we welcome those who are single, married, divorced, filthy rich, or dirt poor. You’re welcome here if you’re “just browsing,” just woke up or just got out of jail. We don’t care if your family is Anglican, Catholic, Baptist, New Age, Old Age, Hindu, Atheist or if you haven’t been to church for ages. We welcome you if you can sing like Pavarotti, or like most of us can’t carry a note in a bucket. We welcome soccer moms, footy dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians and junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems or you’re down in the dumps or if you don’t like “organized religion,” we’ve been there too. If you blew all your money on the pokies, you’re still welcome. We are so glad to see those of you who work too hard and those who don’t work at all. You are welcome, even if you are here today simply because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church. We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. If you’re straight or gay or somewhere in between or don't like silly labels we offer a special welcome. If you could use a prayer right now, you are in the right place.. If you’ve had religion shoved down your throat and don’t quite know what’s going on, but somehow wound up here, we welcome you. Its no mistake you’re here. Something brought you here. Perhaps we can help you discover what the something is.

Today we celebrate Mabo Day, honouring the life and legacy of Mer Island man, Uncle Eddie Koiki Mabo, whose courageous work overturned the false doctrine of terra nullius, (that the continent was a ‘land belonging to no-one’ prior to British settlement). It gave legal recognition to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners of their ancestral lands paved the way for native title and land rights.

Today marks 34 years since the historic Mabo No.2 case was handed down in the High Court of Australia in 1992.

We give thanks for the ongoing leadership of Torres Strait Islander peoples, who continue to care for Country and advocate for the protection of sea and land. We pray that their voices, including their calls for climate justice, will be deeply listened to and heard.

As National Reconciliation Week 2026 draws to a close, may we continue to be challenged and inspired to pursue justice, healing, and, right relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

May we keep reflecting on the call from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Christian Leaders to be ‘All In’ for reconciliation - committing ourselves to the shared journey of friendship, healing, justice, and flourishing for all.

Tell everybody.

If you are part of a liturgical church, then get in the spirit (see what we did there 🫣) and wear red for church next week!

If you’re not sure if your church is liturgical, then wear red anyway.

We will have Rev Jo Inkpin leading our services at 6pm on Sat 23rd & 9:30am on Sun 24th ♥️💃

Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate. Especially to the parents in the thick of it 💕

An oldie but a goodie from the memes history books.

If church has ever felt like something you had to perform, or something you or your kids can’t quite manage:
* sit still
* stand kneel sit
* know what you’re doing
* be quiet

this is something different.

Messy Church is a bit more relaxed.

Some songs, some prayers, some crafts, a chance to chat other people, and usually something to eat on a good month.

First Sunday of the month.
9:30am at Gosford Anglican.

I thought watching and hearing from the astronauts while they were up in Artemis 2 was emotional.

But the love they have shared for earth and humanity on their return is maybe even more inspiring.

Happy Earth Day

Thanks for your time today Dr. Gordon Reid MP hearing from us about the topics we discussed explored and learned so much more about at the Common Grace conference last year.

Common Grace came in today to advocate on a range of issues - especially climate change.

We all celebrated our shared commitment to care for people and the planet. 🌏

If you’re looking for something low-key tonight, this is for you.

We’re hosting a simple pizza and games night. Nothing fancy, just a chance to hang out and keep the Easter celebrations going.

We’ll have pizza bases and toppings ready, you build your own.

BYO drinks, bring a board game if you like, or just come as you are.

All ages welcome.

6pm at Gosford Anglican.
