  • Ministerial Retirements and Memorial Minutes
    Ministerial Retirements and Memorial Minutes Proudly supported by: Minutes of appreciation Rev Alan Robinson 2 Rev Brian Gilbert 4 Rev Bruce Johnson 7 Rev Colin Shenfield 10 Rev Dr David Mackay-Rankin 12 Rev Dennis Harth 15 Rev Euan McDonald 18 Rev Glenn Mulcahy 21 Rev Iris Reedman 24 Rev Jenny Tymms 26 Rev Robert (Bob) Miles 28 Rev Lynette Falkenhagen 30 Rev Ian Proctor 31 34th Queensland Synod Meeting – Minutes of Appreciation 1 of 60 Rev Alan Robinson Alan was born at Young, southwest NSW, in 1947, the eldest of six siblings. His parents, Charles and Joy, were farmers and active members of the local Methodist Church, and their parenting and Christian witness contributed to their three sons entering ordained ministry. A discerning school teacher encouraged the 8-year-old Alan to enter a school talent quest doing a series of quick sketches on large sheets of butcher’s paper. He won. This began the development of a communication gift that would influence his preaching style in years to come. On completion of the Leaving Certificate at Young High School, Alan went to work on the family farm. During this period, he co-led the church’s youth group, and was involved in the local community producing current affairs cartoons for the local paper, running a youth drop-in centre in conjunction with the Salvation Army, and as a member of the Young Repertory Society. In 1970 -71, Rev. Dr Alan Walker, President of the Methodist Conference in NSW, led evangelistic missions across NSW. Alan led the youth program for the week of mission held at Young Methodist Church.

  • Long Time Passing?
    August 2008 Kicking goals in Travelling On your bike, Chaplaincy light son Page 4 Page 11 Page 15 Where have all the young men gone… long time passing? IN THE gospels, Jesus talks to his male companions about fi shing, farming and building houses, and they respond as tradesmen, farmers, accountants and public servants would. In a contemporary Uniting Church Sunday service Jesus speaks through word and sacrament. The congregation responds. Jesus’ 21st century male disciples may sing, “I’m desperate for you; I’m lost without you,” or perhaps “Jesus I am so in love with you”. Is that the type of relationship with God a young offi ce worker could recommend to his workmates or friends? There’s an argument that the contemporary language of Sunday services can be as foreign as the archaic “Holy as Thou art, Thou the God who made me”. Beyond the language barrier (that applies to both men and women) are the trappings of church culture that mystify many modern men, “Why does the minister wear a smock?” If there’s a perception that church is for old women, it’s because fewer than 40% of Australian church members are men and the proportion of younger men is declining. Author of Why Men Hate Going to Church, David Murrow believes the move to emotive, almost romantic religion has alienated many men from worship services. What goes on in church on Sunday is strange. In their work, life and recreation, men require challenge. That’s something largely missing from church life, both in the language of worship and the life of contemporary faith communities.

  • 2013 Uniting Church Census of Congregations and Ministers
    NCLS Research Commissioned Report 2013 Uniting Church Census of Congregations and Ministers Technical Report – Queensland Synod Ruth Powell, Miram Pepper, Nicole Hancock, Sam Sterland and Claudia Mollidor July 2014 NCLS Research Locked Bag 2002 Strathfield NSW 2135 (p) +61 2 9701 4479 (e) [email protected] (w) www.ncls.org.au 2013 Uniting Church Census Technical Report Executive Summary Introduction and methodology In 2013, the President of the Uniting Church Assembly commissioned NCLS Research to conduct a census of UCA congregations and ministers. The purpose was to collect up to date information about ministers, staffing, church size and other features. The census project consisted of two components – a hard copy/online census of congregations and an online census of ministers. Databases of contact details for churches and ministers were provided by the Synods. Data collection ran from August 2013, and concluded in January 2014. The Queensland response rate for the Congregations Census was 71% and for the Ministers Census was 67%. UAICC and minority migrant-ethnic churches appear to be largely missing from the Congregations Census. Participation in the Ministers Census by ministers without email addresses (who tend to be retired and elderly) was low. Congregations Census findings How many UCA congregations are there and how are they distributed across the Queensland Synod? There are 333 church locations/congregations across the Synod, a decrease of 36% since the Assembly last counted in 1990. There are 173 single-location church churches and 72 cluster churches. UCA churches have a long history – 56% were founded before 1950. Compared with rural areas, regional and urban areas have a greater proportion of churches founded since 1950.
