Farewell Astrid Kuivasaari

The UCA SA will miss Astrid but wishes her well as she takes on her new role with Lutheran Homes.
New Presbyteries
The June meeting of Presbytery and Synod saw the separation of the Presbytery from the Synod, and the creation of two new Presbyteries in South Australia – Generate Presbytery and Transitional Presbytery.
While many administrative responsibilities will remain with Synod, the Resources team has been working with the new Presbytery Treasurers to establish financial accounting systems and creating budgets for each Presbytery. The two Presbyteries will operate until the November Synod meeting, when it is expected the Transitional Presbytery will divide into at least two geographic presbyteries.
