More than 300 members of the Uniting Church in Australia met last month at the 14th triennial Assembly, held in Perth. Church gatherings such as this represent a microcosm of issues facing society.
In May 2009, with the support of St John’s Essendon Church Council, I established an outreach ministry at MIDC.
