Today in our Church calendar, we remember The Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord.

The Church has honoured Mary, the mother of Jesus, from the beginning. Then the debates of the fourth century about the full humanity of Christ led to an enhanced celebration of Mary, including her birth, even though nothing reliable is known about her birth or family.

The feast of Mary’s birth was widely observed in the church, and was retained in the Book of Common Prayer.

Today in our Church calendar, we give thanks for the Saints and Martyrs of the Pacific.

Much of the evangelistic spreading of the gospel in the Pacific has been done by the Pacific peoples themselves.

Under the leadership of the great European missionaries of both the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, the Christian message has been first accepted and then spread by the peoples of the Pacific. From Papua New Guinea to Tahiti, from Australia to Hawaii, from Micronesia to New Zealand, the good news has been proclaimed.

Surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, we rejoice in their memory and pray that
we will follow their examples.

The photo is of John Williams, pioneer missionary to the Cook Islands.

Today in our Church calendar we remember Mother Teresa, Missionary of Charity.

Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was born in 1910 in Albania.

She joined the Sisters of Loreto and went to India in 1929, taking her final vows in 1937 as Sr Teresa. In 1948 founded her own order, the Missionaries of Charity.

For the rest of her life Mother Teresa ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying in Calcutta. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.

She was widely admired as an advocate for the destitute. Following her death on 5 September 1997 she was beatified by the pope and given the title, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.

Today in our Church calendar, we remember Albert Schweitzer, Medical Missionary, Theologian.

Albert Schweitzer was born in Germany in 1875 and educated at Berlin and Paris. He was a brilliant musician, philosopher, theologian and author, who in 1913 put aside an assured life of fame and fortune in Europe to go to West Africa as a medical missionary.

There he established a hospital at Lambaréné based on the pattern of an African village. Apart from an interlude in Europe during and after the First World War, and later visits to Europe, he worked for the remainder of his life in Equatorial Africa. He died in 1965.

Today our annual Synod meeting begins at The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Parnell. It finishes on Saturday afternoon.

Synod is a representative body of the whole diocese gathered under the leadership of our bishop.

Licensed clergy, elected lay members and others come together to worship, debate and plan for the future. They vote on issues that affect the whole diocese and elect members of the Diocesan Council and other committees.

Please pray for Synod members, and for the issues that they will speak about in the days ahead.

Today in our Church calendar, we remember The Martyrs of Papua New Guinea.

When the Second World War came to Papua New Guinea, the Anglican bishop, Philip Strong, expressing the general feeling amongst the mission staff, urged missionaries to stay with their people. Most of them from all the church missions did.

Some survived the war, but 272 Christians died. These included 12 Anglicans, who are especially commemorated by the Anglican Church today. They died in various incidents in Papua New Guinea, the largest group being beheaded on the beach at Buna.

The window in our post is located in St Peter's Eastern Hill Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.
