Birthday of the Uniting Church

from w
It is 36 years on since the formation of the Uniting Church of Australia - linking Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches. It has been an imaginative brave move and it's a church that is not static but ever learning how to be creative as Christians with a firm social justice component.Today we celebrated at East Geelong with four congregations coming together at East Geelong. It was lovely. Our band comprised a piano, organ, (my turn) drums (Jordan) and a trumpet and we had a visiting choir. Three ministers, Ikani, Sani, and Dr Darcy Wood. Then we had a shared lunch. It was a noisy friendly kind of day and we should do this more often.
