The parting of the Red Sea
and crossing over to the other side
became THE sign of victory for the enslaved Hebrews.
It marked the beginning of a new life
of freedom as a pilgrim people.
The event was worthy of exuberant celebration
and its significance never to be forgotten.

Conversation on Gender Diversity
Conversation on Gender Diversity, Faith & Marriage Equality
The Uniting Church is noted for its diversity and its desire to be inclusive. While we welcome people from many linguistic and cultural backgrounds, we also affirm those of diverse sexual orientations. However it is recognised that people may have questions regarding sexuality and would like to be better informed as citizens and Christians. The postal survey on same sex marriage highlights that there are many differing opinions not only in the community at large but also within the wider Christian community.
