​Archbishop Peter is the N.S.W. representative Archbishop for ACoA.
​
Christ Our Hope Community is an intentional network of Companions, inspired by the Celtic Monastic Tradition within the Australian Church of Antioch – one of many global Independent Catholic Churches – within the Old Catholic Tradition.

As a Faith Community, it sees itself as part of a wider church movement, called by the Gospel Mandate of Jesus Christ, to be a catalyst for “renewal and reform” within the life of the People of God.
​
Within the Catholic Tradition, therefore, we articulate who we are, as we take our place within the Church Universal – the wider Church Community of Jesus Christ.

In keeping with our Celtic Tradition, newly established “Wells” were developed to encourage greater spiritual ownership of the “domestic church”. Each Well now has a Custodian-Guardian. Wells were opened up and developed not only in the Sydney geographic area but also The Blue Mountains, Central Coast, and rural New England areas.

WELLS
  • Sydney Southeast – Monterey Well of Saint Colm-cille/Columba
  • Sydney East – Randwick Well of Saint Anna/Ann.
  • Sydney West – Cabramatta Well of the Beatitudes.
  • Blue Mountains West – Hazelbrook Well of Saint Jude.
  • Central Coast – Tascott Well of Saint John Ogilvie
  • New England – Armidale Hermitage of Saint Clare/ Francis.

Hon Rev Dr Joseph Randolph Bowers & Rev Dr Dwayne Andrew Kennedy run the New England Well.

The Minims affiliates with the Celtic Community of Christ Our Hope and Archbishop Peter Johnson in Sydney and Australia, as well as with the Constitution of the Australian Church of Antioch, and our sacred well of nurturance is expressed through an earth-based organic Indigenous and Franciscan tradition at St Clare Cottage and St Francis Cottage.
