Faith & Unity
The Commission will engage with the theological work of the wider Church, both to learn and to contribute. It will do so with explicit awareness of and regard to its Australian context, in particular its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage, multi-cultural experience, and the current setting of its churches in a post-Christendom, multi-faith and secular environment within the Asia-Pacific region.

They form a useful resource for other churches and congregations working through the practicalities of joining together.
