Pre-Assembly gatherings

Today, two important pre-Assembly events took place. Youthful delegates of the Assembly came together at Leigh Memorial Church and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) members were hosted at Mascot Wesley Uniting Church.

Both gatherings were a source of encouragement, providing information about how the meeting works and opportunities for cultivating connections that will sustain members across the coming days.

Many of the youthful delegates will be participating in the Assembly for the first time. Incoming President Rev Charissa Suli encouraged them to know their presence and voices were an important part of the meeting. 

“No matter what council of the church we come from,” Rev Suli shared, “our common ground is our humanity. My vision for the Uniting Church is that we will be a place of more generous welcome, that we will be proud of our diversity.”
