Rev Paul Blacker
Banyule Network Minister: Team leader with responsibility for Heidelberg Scots and Ivanhoe Congregations
“I am delighted to be offering Ministry with the Banyule Network of Uniting Churches. The call is to engage the reality of our limits and our hope with a people who know where they have been and who pray for fresh expressions of church, and to resource an inclusive, outreaching engagement with surrounding worlds.”
“I have been drawn to the challenge and possibility of Team — of those in Placement; of a mixed-ministry team; of employed and volunteers, office-bearers and members. To model by way of process and commitment to relationship possibilities of life that are deeper and bigger.”
“I believe in the way of Christ and dance with the God of atoning grace and freedom.”
Rev Sandy Brodine
Banyule Network Minister: Emerging Faith Communities. With responsibility for Messy Churches, Common Ground Community, SPACE Contemplative Community and the Banyule Network Theology Hub.
“The two things that particularly drew me to the Uniting Church as a teenager was the fact that the liturgy did not follow a prescribed format and so there was more freedom for young people to be involved, and also the fact that the Uniting Church ordained women.”
“I am excited by the Banyule Network as a vibrant and energised place to grow and develop in faith. The Network is home to some wonderful, inclusive new faith communities. It is wonderful to be able to share our faith and grow together through all of the stages and experiences of life.”
