In 2021, when Bishop Rod visited a parish, he often took along the devotional book “90 Days in Genesis, Exodus, Psalms and Galatians” by Lee Gatiss to share. This devotional takes a bible passage, a short excerpt from one of four reformers (Calvin, Luther, Bullinger and Cranmer), and asks some thought-provoking questions. Each devotion takes around 20min and encourages you to really think through the passage and how it applies to your life. If you are looking for a quality devotional, this is a great option.

In 2023, the Commission for Evangelism and Mission put together this booklet with practical tips and helpful resources to encourage and equip everyone to pray: Growing in Prayerfulness 

They also produced a video to promote the Armidale Diocesan Prayer Diary:

The Prayer Diary comes out every February and can be picked up in your local church. Spare copies are also available in the Diocesan Registry Office in Armidale. If you would like to have the Prayer Diary on your phone, you can find us in the PrayerMate app, listed in the churches section as: Armidale Anglican Diocese.
