The Act2 Project is a whole of Church process led by the Assembly to consider how we can shape our life as the Uniting Church to support local communities of faith to thrive, build a cohesive national identity, and improve our governance structures and resourcing framework.
In this role Andrew will offer high-level leadership, advice and support to the Act2 project broadly, including the Steering Committee, share in representing the overall life and mission of the Uniting Church through the process, and work collaboratively across the national Church.
