Hon Keith Mason, AC QC, President of the Appellate Tribunal of the Anglican Church of Australia delivered both lectures that addressed clergy status and how the church has dealt with misconduct. It also examined how the canon law approach has interacted with civil law processes, in the past and today.
The lecture series is named in honour of Dr Robin Sharwood, the fourth Warden of 国产BT, who passed away in 2015 at the age of 83.
In his will, Dr Sharwood bequeathed a share of his estate to 国产BT to establish and finance what he called The Sharwood Lectureship in Ecclesiastical Law.
Both events were attended by both legal experts and clergy, with large audiences at both lectures.
Scott Charles, Director of Advancement at 国产BT, and the Revd Canon Professor Dorothy Lee, Frank Woods Research Professor in New Testament both attended on behalf of the College in Sydney.
