Join us in a new phase Greetings from the Act2 Project! I'm pleased to share with you this update on the work of Act2, and especially to announce the release of our latest report, Act2: In Response to God’s Call. The first report since the creation of the Act2 Steering Committee and Project Unit, this report summarises our engagement across the Uniting Church between November 2022 and June 2023. We want to thank all those people and communities that, during this time, reflected so thoughtfully on where and who we are as the Uniting Church. We have tried to faithfully reflect these insights, frustrations, hopes, dreams and challenges in the report. In all of this Jesus remains our centre and continues to walk with our Church, living our stories with us, holding us in compassionate love, calling us on into true life. The report looks concretely to the future, offering for discernment: - four directions related to the future of our communities of faith
- four options related to the future of our governance and resourcing
We are moving now into the Collective Discernment phase of the Project, when we will be inviting every part of the Uniting Church to engage with the report, directions and options and respond over the next five months. This a genuinely meaningful opportunity to have your voice heard about the future of our Church, as the input you give will directly shape the proposals which will go before the 17th Assembly in July 2024. Find some opportunities to get involved below, with more to come. We look forward to sharing with you in this important moment of discernment and imagination. This is not the time to watch and wait, but to pray and participate, as together we discern the leading of the Holy Spirit for our future. Grace and peace, Andrew Johnson Act2 Project Lead |
