A new resolution

At their meeting on Friday 18 March, the SA Presbytery and Synod Standing Committee carried the following resolution:

“The Presbytery and Synod Standing Committee resolved to:

Prior to this resolution, Home Endowment Fund contributions were required by minister based in South Australia unless an exemption had been granted.

    Regarding the new format of New Times email updates.
    Would much prefer the info to be on the front page of the email, rather than click on — read more. It is a deterrent. UC News goes straight to the info. Please consider changing the format of the New Times emails.
    Thank you
