Anglican Church
Our Anglican Tradition
The Parish of St Peter Bundoora is a community – friendly people together caring for each other.
We are a Christian community, seeking to live the values of Jesus, to tell of salvation in Christ and to serve the wider community in which we live. Parish activities and groups are for fellowship, education and growth in the Christian life.
We are a community that is welcoming and inclusive. We are ethnically diverse and include people of all ages. Parish activities are designed to show welcome and inclusion.
We are an Anglican community. St Peter’s Bundoora is part of the Diocese of Melbourne, which, in turn, is part of the Anglican Church of Australia. The Anglican Church of Australia is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury as its head.
We are a community that is centred on the eucharist. The eucharist (also known as the Lord’s Supper, Holy Communion or the mass) is celebrated each Sunday at 8am and 9.30am (the main celebration) and each Wednesday at 9.30am. All are welcome at these celebrations.
We have a style of celebration which is described as catholic. The word ‘catholic’ means literally ‘according to wholeness’ and all the senses are involved in worship. There is colour, movement and music, we hear the word of God read and proclaimed – and, occasionally, incense is used. Full participation in our common worship is encouraged. Being catholic Anglicans means that the sacraments are central to parish life, we rejoice in God’s good creation and accept responsibility for its care, our gathering together is important, and we work for the good of society.
