Governance
St James Turramurra is part of a world-wide fellowship of Anglican churches called the Anglican Communion, which derive originally from the Church of England. The Anglican Church of Australia is now independent of the Church of England, although it retains certain historical, theological and cultural links.
St James Turramurra is part of the Diocese of Sydney, under the leadership of our Archbishop (Peter Jensen) and regional bishop (Glenn Davies). Each year a parliament or "synod" of the entire diocese meets. The senior minister and two elected parish representatives represent our church.
At a local level our ministry is overseen by a Parish Council. This Council is elected at an annual church meeting called the annual general meeting of parishioners, held in the first quarter of the year. The property and finance matters are under the authority of the Church Wardens.
