The Church of England has a bold goal, creating 100 new worshipping communities by 2020. Ric Thorpe oversees church planting for the denomination and has been involved with five Holy Trinity Brompton church plants.
Ric will be in Adelaide on 27 July, 2018 at Hope Valley Uniting Church for a full day of church planting conversation. He brings with him, extensive experience in church planting and revitalisation. The training day will replace the Uniting Leaders conference in 2018.
Uniting Leaders was successfully launched in the Gold Coast in 2016 and held again in Adelaide in 2017. Next year, the Uniting Leaders conference will be held once again in the Gold Coast from August 27-29, 2019. To find out more about this conference, follow the new Uniting Leaders Facebook page for updates and insights.
Holy Trinity Brompton has been planting churches sinces 1985. They have planted teams of 10 to 200 people into a wide variety of churches throughout London and overseas. The historically significant and beautiful Anglican churches – often facing closure – have been restored and are now homes to growing, worshipping communities that have a significant impact within their local areas.
Ric Thorpe has been involved in this growth and revitalisation and will bring his wisdom and insight to Adelaide. The day-long training event will be full of fantastic opportunities to engage with one of today’s best church planting strategists. The cost is $50, which includes morning tea and lunch.

Whilst the situation with the spread of COVID-19 is concerning, there are simple and sensible actions we can take to help reduce the spread and help allay fears in our community. This is also an opportunity to take a fresh look at some of our practices and consider if there are more suitable alternatives that will help to maintain a safe church.
The Mission and Leadership Development Board (MLDB) has released its Strategic Framework.
Assembly General Secretary Colleen Geyer has delivered a wide-ranging reflection on the future of the Church at the Uniting Leadership and Theology Symposium in Adelaide. In a speech traversing sustainability, diversity, structure and identity Colleen asks can we as the Uniting Church be bold enough to listen to our history, step away from what has always been, be open to where God is leading us and step aside for the leaders who'll take us there?
