Wasting Time with God ~ Ash-Lee Lund

Ash-Lee is 21 years old, is studying for a Bachelor of Education and currently is a Youth Ambassador for Anglican Board of Mission (ABM). She will be talking about the pilgrimage to Vanuatu that she and the other two youth ambassadors embarked on at the beginning of this year. Ash-Lee is looking forward to sharing some incredible stories of the generous people they met as well as explaining more about the ABM programs they witnessed.

Marriage equality survey

The Primate of the Anglican Church of Australia, The Most Rev’d Dr Philip Freier, in a letter to the Bishops last year wrote, “If the plebiscite does happen it will be important that Christians – and others – vote according to their conscience and their view of what is best for society…” Some helpful and reflective resources on what the Bible really says about marriage and what the majority of Christians are thinking and feeling can be found at Christians for Marriage Equality: www.christiansforequality.com.au/
