Faithfulness in Service

Faithfulness in Service is the national code for personal behaviour and the practice of pastoral ministry by clergy and church workers agreed to by the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Australia in 2004 and revised by the General Synod Standing Committee in 2016 (tabled at General Synod 2017).

Faithfulness in Service has been adopted and amended by the Anglican Diocese of Perth at Synod 2019.

Faithfulness in Service makes more concrete our commitment to giving guidance to clergy and church workers as to best practice as they consider the potential effect of their behaviour on those to whom they minister.

It also provides a clear, public standard of conduct so that others may know what standards clergy and church workers are committed to meeting.

In adopting it as our code of conduct it helps us stand with our fellow Anglicans in making it clear to our society that we care about the integrity of the conduct of our leaders, and wish to train and encourage them in safe ministry practices across the board, and not only in matters relating to child abuse.
