Language Matters An introduction to the Inclusive Language Policy of the Diocese of Adelaide The aim of this leaflet is to encourage and assist the use of gender inclusive language in all aspects of diocesan and parish life. Language and technology are constantly evolving. Hence there is a continuing need to explore new ways of communicating the gospel effectively and to ensure that the language of the church is clear, accessible, courteous and appropriate to the occasion and the participants. The use of inclusive language will assist with this endeavour. The leaflet gives an introduction to the Inclusive Language Policy of the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide together with suggestions on relevant strategies for parishes and information on helpful resources. It has been prepared at the request of Diocesan Council by the Women’s Ministry Task Group. |

Spirituality and Stuff Like That Formation of Young people's Spirituality and the Role of Secondary Schools in Adelaide Mrs Elise Zaplatynskyj (nee Ruthenbeck) December 2005 A research report prepared for the Social Responsibilities Committee into the perceptions of and support for spiritual nature and development that was available to school students in South Australia. The genesis of the research was the recognition that many churches did not seem to be relevant or attractive to young people, and the need for the church to understand and address the underlying perceptions of young people with respect to spirituality. |
