	Future Of The Uniting Church In Australia?
		A church which endeavours to be a church of grace is tested at the point of the determination of distinctives: while there is an urge towards toleration, there is also the necessity to discern boundaries.
		For example, ministers in the UCA are not permitted the luxury of thinking and acting in ways contrary to the UCA stance on baptism and on acceptance of women in leadership in the UCA.
		The UCA has been an exciting venture: perhaps it is time to recognize that it has peaked in its present form, and needs to be laid aside with thanksgiving in favour of a new future.

	Uniting Church in Australia - Comment on 'Church on the rocks'
		It is fairly clear to me that the Protestant church was infiltrated and perhaps even compromised during the period of Indonesian occupation and the period associated with the UN sponsored referendum.
		Church members, pastors and even ministers are not beyond their grasp.
		The church is fully aware of this situation and is constantly faced with the issue of sustaining itself in such a climate of national poverty.
