Free PDF download here

The Australian Church Record and the Anglican Church League have published ‘The Lord’s Supper in Human Hands – Epipogue’.

Sydney’s discussion of lay and diaconal administration of the Lord’s Supper has occurred for some forty years. After a related legal question was referred to it, the Appellate Tribunal handed down its opinion in August 2010. This legal opinion needs to be set within its proper context, and the biblical-theological discussion about the issue needs to continue.

This booklet is an epilogue to The Lord’s Supper in Human Hands (2008), updating the discussion on the eve of Sydney Synod, October 2010. 

The book is available as a free PDF download – or you can purpchase a printed copy for $5 AUD plus postage and handling –

It assembles the theological arguments for, and answers some objections against. It outlines the timeline of the over 30-year long debate, providing a record of all of the major discussions and decisions, and it sets Sydney’s debate in the context of global discussion and Anglican history.

“The influence of Donald William Bradley Robinson as a teacher has been immense. Those privileged to be taught the New Testament by him at Moore College during his twenty one years as lecturer and then Vice Principal have been deeply influenced by his profounded insight into and meticulous care with the text of the New Testament. Almost all would acknowledge that their own ministries have involved passing on something of what they learned from ‘DWBR’. Certainly the teaching at Moore College continues to benefit from the influence of this remarkable scholar and teacher. This publication of many of Donald Robinson’s writings, as well as a collection of essays reflecting on his many contributions to Christian thought and practice, is a welcome event that will enable many more to benefit.”

– Dr John Woodhouse, Principal, Moore College, Sydney
