FAITH & UNITY COMMISSION

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 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. Click here to read our Mandate

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.
