Uniting Church in Australia

The Uniting Church in Australia has written to all federal ALP MPs and Senators, urging them to implement the recommendations made in the report of the National Human Rights Consultation.

In its submission to the Consultation, the Uniting Church articulated its commitment to social justice and the achievement of human dignity for all through a Human Rights Act.

The Commentary on the Basis of Union, by J Davis McCaughey is available again. This very important book has been out of print for some time, but is now available through MediaCom.

Davis McCaughey was one of the key architects of the Basis of Union and a key figure in the drafting process. Few people were better placed to reflect upon it as the Uniting Church came into existence. This commentary is a valuable source of insight from a person involved in such an intimate way in the development of the Basis of Union.

Purchase for just $16.50. Visit the MediaCom website to order.
