What an incredible, spirit filled week  the Australian Delegation have experienced at World Conference. Over and over I am hearing from Conference attendees that there is a shift in atmosphere, an uplifting energy and a movement towards change. It is the Spirit of hope.

 This week we celebrate Volunteer Week…

IDAHOBIT stands for the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia. Celebrated each year on May 17, it’s a global day of recognition and solidarity with LGBTQIA+ people around the world. The day raises awareness about the discrimination and violence still faced by many in these communities, while also celebrating love, identity, and the power of inclusion.

As we reflect on the recent Mission Centre Conference, both onsite and online, there’s a quiet sense that something meaningful unfolded among us, something rooted in deep listening, courageous sharing, and the ongoing work of becoming.

Throughout the day, we found ourselves gathered around stories of impact, possibility, and transformation…

If you’re unfamiliar with the amazing new 3-year LEAD program. Here’s a short snippet from my perspective about the start of my journey in this program…

Perth Easter camp has become a sacred tradition!  This year was no exception.  Up to 30 folks of all ages gathered over the weekend to share fun, worship, classes, campfire, recreation and lots of food (eating six times a day!).

Gathering together—whether in person or online—has always been central to how we listen, discern, and respond to God’s call as a church. As we prepare for Mission Centre Conference, we are invited into a spiritual practice of seeking understanding through conversation, reflection, and prayerful discernment.

Pre-Legislation Sessions are a vital part of that process……

With gratitude, we remember members and friends of our community who have recently passed..
