I am a UCA Minister who has served for over 4 decades in congregational and presbytery roles, as well as Senior lecturer in Biblical Studies at UTC, Parramatta, and Principal of Perth Theological Hall WA. I am currently the Editor of With Love to the World and blog regularly at An Informed Faith (https:johnsquires.com) and enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle in retirement.
Jesus came into the world as the ‘upside down’ king – his kingdom is not of this world.
To commit to following Jesus is not to go along the pathway of power, authority or prestige.
Rather to relate with humility, through compassion, holding fast to a righteous way of living.
NAIDOC Week was recently celebrated. The Uniting Church has
a long history of working with the First Peoples.
We are called to take the yoke upon ourselves as a nation, to ensure First peoples will have a Voice.
Through the Spirit we are called to live in new ways with justice and truth.
Discipleship beckons us to go to an uncertain future, question, consider
and change our minds.
We’re called to live out our beliefs and put our ideals into practice and travel a ‘Jesus way’ every day.
