So special to be here for the final gathering of the Riverina Presbytery. Southern Presbytery Transition Leader Rev. Amy Junor led the update and business of Transition matters. This comes only one week after her ordination and induction to the Transition Commission.

MARCH UPDATE: The Transition Commission has begun an important phase of consultation with Presbyteries as the Uniting Church continues shaping its future structures for leadership, mission and ministry.

On March 12 and 13, representatives from Presbyteries gathered with Uniting Mission and Education (UME) staff to reflect on the first draft of a proposed baseline staffing model. Rather than presenting a finished proposal for approval, the consultation marked the beginning of a co-design process, inviting shared discernment about how the Church can best organise its ministry in a changing context.

Members of the Transition Commission were blessed to be at the Induction of Rev Dr Jason Kioa to the work of the Sydney Presbytery today. Rev Dr Peter Walker reminded us that the challenge of sustaining the unity of the church has never been easy but it works when our work is centred in Jesus Christ who unites us.

Stepping into the 3P Future: In February, the Chair of the 3P Transition Commission wrote to all Presbyteries to gather the threads of work undertaken in the Commission’s first three months. That letter now forms the basis of a broader conversation with the whole Synod as we move from twelve Presbyteries to three.

We are talking with the Far North Coast Presbytery today, about the future. A new phrase was coined. Keeping the “fun” in “functional”. Thanks to Revs Graham Perry and Rob McFarlane for leading the day.
