Presentation 2013 1
Churches Housing Roundtable Property for a Pilgrim People 17th October 2014
Rev Niall Reid
Uniting Church Synod of NSW and the ACT 2014
the Church is a pilgrim people, always on the way towards a promised goal; here the Church does not have a continuing city but seeks one to come.
Affirm the value of a Sales Proceeds Policy, which releases funds for God’s Mission for the sake of the world both in the local context and beyond.
1. Direct Synod Standing Committee to appoint a task group to undertake a review of the current policy taking into account the priority areas of affordable housing, employment, social enterprise, local congregation and community initiatives, and environmental sustainability.

The Church as the fellowship of the Holy Spirit confesses Jesus as Lord over its own life; it also confesses that Jesus is Head over all things, the beginning of a new creation, of a new humanity. God in Christ has given to all people in the Church the Holy Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that coming reconciliation and renewal which is the end in view for the whole creation. The Church's call is to serve that end:

If so what does that property look like?
