RE: EMU / Reforming Alliance

[Judy Redman]

Keith,   As I understand it, the Reforming Alliance resulted from the invitation only meeting that EMU called in the week before NSW Synod (which specifically excluded the President and General Secretary).  At it were both EMU members and people who are not members of EMU but were/are concerned about the direction that the UCA is taking re homosexuality.  If you go to the EMU site http://www.emu.asn.au/ and look at the link "The Birth of the Alliance", this will give you as much information as I have about it, but as I understand it, it is different from EMU, although a significant number of EMU people are involved.  And some of the people involved are no longer attending Uniting Churches and may have actually formally left, so I am not sure what its status is vis a vis the UCA.   Judy   -- "One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs -- but it is amazing how many eggs one can break without making a decent omelette." -Professor Charles P.
