Being on the Way together…
Prayer and action are not mutually exclusive. Many Christians pray on the way to the promised end. Uniting Church Christians in our Presbytery are engaged in the ongoing Pilgrimage of following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Jesus, spoke to his disciples about "The Way" . The earliest description of the Church is "Followers of the Way". There is no doubt that Jesus led a very active prayer life that informed his actions. Those post Easter disciples on the road to Emmaus had their eyes opened to who was with them when Jesus broke the bread in a meal with them. This action, like walking and talking and healing is prayer.
As we walk together we can listen to each other's stories, just as Jesus did with those early disciples. Being on the way together means also sharing our understandings our hopes our strategies and tactics. Some even offer wisdom. There is a group of fellow walkers, The Synod, they have an extraordinary gift of wisdom which they have shared with us in recent times. The Synod is a statewide gathering of Uniting Church Christians, representatives from each of the eight Presbyteries gather as a Council. When in session, they consider policies and issues concerning the mission of the church, with a wider perspective and effect than say, a local Church Council or the Presbytery with its regional view.
On the Way Together, Report on a Spirited journey towards the future was made to the Synod in September 2008. Go explore http://onthewaytogether.org.au/
