Paul GeerlingHOST
I was the first Pentecostal charismatic chaplain.
Paul GeerlingHOST
Before then, they'd just been Anglicans or Baptists or Uniting Church.
Paul GeerlingHOST
And so I was a bit of a new kind of thing.
Paul GeerlingHOST
And at the time, I attended the biggest church in Adelaide.
Jon HumphriesHOST
Yeah.
Jon HumphriesHOST
Well, we're Uniting Church.
Jon HumphriesHOST
You should be, if you're not already, greeting people in the way they'd like to be greeted.
Ness Williams-HenkeHOST
I love that.

Mackenzie LingGUEST
To strip it and just to… So your
Jon HumphriesHOST
role in the Synod, describe what you do.
Jon HumphriesHOST
So the Synod for those outside of the Uniting Church is our state-based body or states.
Jon HumphriesHOST
We've got the Australian Capital Territory in that as well, which is our national capital.
Jem FullerHOST
I mean, we don't have a Catholic priest, but...
Jem FullerHOST
I grew up in a family where mum was Catholic and dad was Uniting Church of England.
Jem FullerHOST
And I went to a Catholic school, but every Sunday would go to a Uniting Church service.
Jem FullerHOST
And then on special occasions like Christmas and Easter, we'd go to mass and church to keep both mum and dad happy.
Jem FullerHOST
Lucky you.
SimeonHOST
That's a church that's dying.
SimeonHOST
You know, I saw when I was a while back going down to Victor Harbour there, the Uniting Church, I've got a photo of it because I thought it's just a good sermon illustration.
SimeonHOST
On the church sign of the Victor Harbour Uniting Church, they had a big sign there advertising a coffin club with the slogan, all you need to know before you go.
SimeonHOST
And I thought, there's a dying club for a dying church.
SimeonHOST
Can you imagine anything more depressing than that? Let's go to the coffin club and figure out, I don't know, whether we have brass handles or, you know, the brass coffin handles.
Gary MyronHOST
Yeah,
Rob GilesGUEST
so, yeah, the kind of Uniting Church Managers Chapel, the Uniting Church Chapel in Jamboree as well, and very, very kindly gave us permission to film a music video there, and it was a fantastic experience.
Rob GilesGUEST
And it's all on YouTube.
Gary MyronHOST
It's on YouTube.
Gary JohnsGUEST
You know, it all went with a package.
Gary JohnsGUEST
And they've gone right through the universities, the churches themselves, and they're bashful and apologetic, the likes of the Uniting Church and the Catholic Church and the Anglicans and the Lutherans, but probably not so much them, are apologetic.
Gary JohnsGUEST
But in fact, they were doing the work of the Lord in preparing people for a new world.
Gary JohnsGUEST
There was no other.
Philip JensenHOST
Then there's denominations.
Philip JensenHOST
The Uniting Church of Australia, excuse me saying this to those who are still members of it and faithful to the Lord Jesus, the Congregationalism, of Cromwell, the Presbyterianism of Calvinism, the Wesleyan Methodists, none of them would recognize the Uniting Church of Australia.
Philip JensenHOST
It just is preaching completely different doctrines than the three denominations that gave rise to the Uniting Church.
Philip JensenHOST
And sometimes it's really secular institutions, Peter, Sydney University, of which we're graduates, actually.
Philip JensenHOST
We read that the original University of Sydney Act in 1850 stated explicit goal of better advancement of religion and morality.
Anna CoustonGUEST
But it's fun to be with you.
Anna CoustonGUEST
As Aaron said, we've been up at Synod, which is the gathering of a lot of our church leaders in our denomination of the Uniting Church in Queensland coming together.
Anna CoustonGUEST
And there's a lot of things that are discussed.
Anna CoustonGUEST
It's like someone was like, oh, amazing.
Will SmallHOST
Now you might want to put your body in a different place for a different purpose, but there is something there that I think actually makes a lot of sense.
Will SmallHOST
You know, And I wish, I think for me the tension is whilst I don't like the, I guess, some of the evangelical undergirdings, I do think a lot of faith spaces like here in the, you know, in New South Wales, in the Uniting Church, I would love to see more of that kind of energy.
Will SmallHOST
empowering young people, calling them into something great, helping them to put their body somewhere.
Will SmallHOST
And I'm sure that that happens in places, but you've got to look hard for it.
JonHOST
Or
NessHOST
Borgham Hills Uniting Church.
NessHOST
Yes,
JonHOST
St. Matthew's Uniting Church, Borgham Hills.
JonHOST

NessHOST
like to hear this on the way.
