9781922589422: The Present and Future of the Basis of Union: Marking Fifty Years

Synopsis

The Basis of Union is a historic document, finalised in 1971, to provide the theological and biblical foundations for what was to become the Uniting Church in Australia. The fiftieth anniversary of its publication provided a fitting opportunity to review the Basis and to consider its ongoing significance for current members of the Church.

The essays in the book reflect the extraordinary changes in church and society over the fifty year period and how the Basis itself must be considered and interpreted in ways that reflect the experiences of belonging within a contemporary community of believers.
