The Body of Christ is made of many parts, and people experience their understanding of God in many different ways. On this blog, we'll consider the beliefs and activities of congregations, denominations and different religions.

UC National News - 10-16 Jul 2020 - No Child Left Behind, End COVID for All, Thank you for the Worship and more
Uniting Church members are encouraged to support a campaign to ensure children seeking asylum in Australia are not left homeless and hungry by the impacts of COVID-19.
President Dr Deidre Palmer has recorded a video message for Pilgrim Uniting Church's Great Sunday of Sharing service on 12 July. In seeking to live out our faith and life cross-culturally and interculturally says Dr Palmer, the Uniting Church rejoices in the diversity of races, cultures and languages, as God’s gracious gift.
On 10 July 1994, the 7th Assembly of the Uniting Church formally entered into a binding covenant relationship with the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress. The Covenant is fundamental to who we are, writes Stuart McMillan.
Rev Alex Sangster, the Advocate for the Assembly's Transforming Worship Circle has a special thank you - and an invitation to those who led and participated in Australia-wide online worship over the last few months.
The Assembly Resourcing Unit is offering the opportunity for people to check in with others across the Church in the company of leaders from the ARU team. It will be a time to listen, lotu (pray) and cinta (love) one another with the gift of being present.
Thanks to everyone who responded to our callout for Frontier Services last week. If you think you could fundraise $10,000 in 10 months and want to be part of Australian outback adventure on Channel 7, check out the Charity TV Global website and contact Ben Bertoldi for more details.
The Pacific Conference of Churches is looking for an Ecumenical Animator for its “Just and Safe Pacific Communities of Women and Men Programme. The role is for three years and starts at the end of July.
Online registrations have re-opened for Dr Deidre Palmer's President's conference from 2-5 October with an updated program and hosted hub arrangements.
JOIN US IN PRAYER FOR:
People seeking asylum in Australia and their families, that they may receive the supports they need to assist them through the COVID-19 crisis.
Our global neighbours who are facing the pandemic without the privileges we enjoy as a rich, developed nation.
The people of Victoria, as they face six more weeks of tight restrictions to prevent further spread of COVID-19. We pray for those who are distressed, those who are living with uncertainty and fear - and we pray for all Australians, that we might have wisdom, patience and love for neighbour to remain vigilant in our hygiene and safety practice until the threat of the virus passes.
