Mission and evangelism network

Over these 3 days, I’m hanging with the Assembly mission and evangelism network. It’s a gathering from around Australia of Uniting church folk who at a state level, provide leadership in areas of mission and evangelism.

The folk are mainly Synod workers and I’m the only person from a Uniting College. Not sure whether that is a random fact, or whether it says something about me or the network or the other Colleges or Uniting College.

The gathering meets twice a year and becomes a place for relationships, for sharing of resources and for engaging current issues. For me, it helps keep me grounded among the real life issues of the church and what it might mean to be a training place that serves those needs. Plus the group are fun.
