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.

Upcoming Events:
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2010 runs from the 16th to the 23rd of May, 2010. This years theme 'You are witnesses to these things' (Luke 24:48) encourages participants to reflect on chapter 24 of Luke's gospel, particularly focusing on how questions between Jesus and his disciples invite us to consider problems, and remedies, of church division.
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2010 page includes numerous resources for individuals and churches to assist participation in this program.

WHEN CHURCHES JOIN
These guidelines were prepared by the Christian Unity Working Group of the Uniting Church National Assembly for congregations seeking cooperation with congregations of other churches. They form a useful resource for other churches and congregations working through the practicalities of joining together.
