Resources
Ruminations
These resources are brought to you as part of Saltbush – Uniting the Scattered Community. The Uniting Church Synod of NSW & ACT oversees this work as an encouragement to all rural Christian communities and their leaders, irrespective of size or location. Ruminations tells stories of scattered Uniting Christian communities and the people who give them life. Ruminations seeks to bring genuine theology and Biblical reflection for our contemporary life and world. The latest edition of Ruminations has the theme of Land. As a challenge, I commend to your thinking, consideration of your own relationship to land and where your own slice of real-estate sits as part of the land on which we live.
Talking About Salt
This is our publication available for any congregation or group who are willing to have some discussion around who you are, how you gather and how you live out your faith.
Growing Intentional Christian Communities of Practice
We delve into the Gospels, think about our own stories, talk together in small and large groups and challenge ourselves to take seriously the urging for the church in the 21st Century to be way more intentional about its life.
Belong
Saltbush – Uniting the Scattered Community, seeks to encourage and connect smaller, Uniting Christian communities, irrespective of size or location. Saltbush seeks to enable us as a broad church to embrace the reality of being Christian community in the 21st. century and to affirm the place and capacity of smaller Uniting Church congregations both to gather and be in mission.
The Great Unravelling
Six conversations as part of the book: Joining God in the Great Unravelling by Alan J. Roxburgh. These conversations are not a study guide, but an invitation to open ourselves to deeply consider who and how we, the church, our christian communities, are participating in the ways of God beyond ourselves.
Salt in the Wound
Welcome to a journey with Jacob! This is an uncomfortable set of conversations. Like salt in a wound, they sting and irritate before they can soothe and heal. We hope you will sit with them – on your own or, preferably, with a small group of people with whom you are willing to explore your life and faith.
