| | This Easter, Uniting Church President Rev Charissa Suli shares a message that speaks directly into the moment we’re living through. In a world that feels loud, anxious and divided, she offers a word of peace. Not the kind that looks away from what’s hard, but the kind that meets us right in the middle of it. We’d love this message to travel far beyond the walls of the church, and you can help make that happen. Please head to our Facebook and YouTube posts now and like, comment, and share so this message of peace can reach those who need it most this Easter. |

South Perth Uniting is a vibrant and diverse congregation committed to worship, connection and hospitality, offering a place where people can belong, grow and encounter God in everyday life. |

Ordained in 1965, David’s ministry spans decades and continents, including leadership roles nationally and globally. Their conversation explored church leadership, worship, partnerships and the 50th anniversary in 2027. We give thanks for David’s wisdom, humility and enduring witness. |

The gathering brought together theologians, clergy, counsellors and survivors. Following the conference, Rev Suli penned this reflection, and continued the conversation on ABC Radio’s Soul Search. |
