A renewed connection: God's transforming love shown over the decades.
Pernicious Pluralism
Is the Christian gospel simply one of many world religions? Some advocate the convergence of all world religions as if there are many ways to God.

Easter 2017
Over the Easter period the community enjoys a holiday weekend. While the commercial world trivialises Easter, for Christian people Christ’s death and resurrection are central in human history. The Easter events free us from death and enable us to face the future with confidence. This great festival of the Christian faith needs to be publicly celebrated with enthusiasm. Here are some suggestions for Easter 2017 from Rev. E.A. Curnow.
The Story of Colliding Worlds
INDEX
An introduction explaining the resource “The Story of Colliding Worlds.”
The Church is caught in a remarkable period of rapid cultural change.
Many Christians grieve over the loss of the past. Others are passionate about moving ahead. This resource explains two very different world-views and ways of thinking, the colliding of two worlds. It calls the church to face change, to faithfully discern the truth and with courage to be loyal in following Christ into the future.

Marriage - more than a social construct
Ted Curnow presents a secular view and a Christian view showing how marriage as an institution has existed from time immemorial. This important issue is more than a matter of human rights. It could result in the suppressing of conscientious and religious freedom.
