On Saturday 19th July Bishop Dr Mark Short was elected as the Primate of the Anglican Church of Australia. Mark has been Bishiop of Canberra and Goulburn since 2019. Prior to that he was the National Director of BCA. Mark is an EFAC Australia Vice President. The last evangelical Primate in Australia was Sir Marcus Loane (Sydney). Prior to 1982 the most senior Metropolitan became the Primate. After that they have been elected. Do pray for Bishop Mark and his wife Monica as he assumes this weighty extra responsibility in November and as he leads the Anglican Church in Australia and represents the Anglican Church of Australia internationally. Pray also for the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn as they put in place the arrangements necessary for their Bishop to be enabled to undertake this new role.
