Our goal is to encourage all of us to engage in an “informed faith”, to recognise that we are all gifted and called to ministry and that our ministries are part of the ministry of Christ (Basis of Union).

The Church Guide For Making Decisions Together, by Terence Corkin and Julia Kuhn Wallace
This book advocates that the most theologically sound, sociologically relevant, culturally appropriate, and faith encouraging way for churches to make decisions is to use processes and tools that build consensus, irrespective of the way the final decision is made.
Consensus in this context does not mean unanimity, it is about discerning the will of God, involving all in the response to an issue, it is collaborative, comprehensive and opens new insights. (from the introduction).

Property and Progress for a Pilgrim People, How much has the Uniting Church now lost the way? by Hugh Mackay
With his customary clarity, precision and incisiveness, Dr Owen deals with a number of theological issues central to contemporary western Christianity.
Although the monograph addresses theological questions particularly within the Uniting Church in Australia, it nevertheless deserves a readership far wider than that. For its concerns are relevant to all churches in western societies (from the back cover).

‘Our Principle of Sex Equality’ , The Ordination of Women in the Congregational Church in Australia 1927-1977, by Julia Pitman
“In the 1820’s women in the Congregational churches in the Australian colonies were not permitted to speak in church or missionary meetings—they could only whisper the amounts of their offerings into the ears of their husbands or other men who spoke for them.
By the time the Uniting Church was formed in 1977 fifteen Congregational women were ordained for service in local congregations, the mission field, and theological education.” This is their story.

Hope For Justice & Reconciliation, Isaiah’s Voice in an Australian Context, by Howard Wallace and John Bottomly
The book of Isaiah brings together prophetic words about trust and justice in times of difficulty, words of hope in times of captivity, and words of judgement as the community reshapes its life after overwhelmingly tough times.
Written in 2012, it is appropriate reading for today’s world and calls the church to rethink with imagination its prophetic role in society.
