The third Ministers conference of the ACSCOA was a great success. Those attending were uplifted by the magnificent garden venue, and The Arch Reverend Don Anson Smith led the meeting, sharing with the Ministers, news of Churches who were becoming new members of the ACSCOA,increasing even more our growing numbers. Everyone agreed it was wonderful that so many Churches are now coming together under the umbrella of the ACSCOA bringing unity to the Spiritual movement.
Arch Reverend Don explained new legislation for Ministers and Assistant Ministers, and updated attending Ministers on general Church administration.
Reverend Angela explained all aspects of Insurance and Liability, as well as explaining in detail the legislation required for becoming an Incorporated body.
As the day wore on and the sun shone Ministers enjoyed lunch and afternoon tea in the gardens, and the open question forum was a welcome time to share experiences.
Four new Ministers were ordained into the ACSCOA and as always that was a moving and special experience not only for the new Ministers, but the on lookers, sharing the moment. Welcome Sue Mailman, Chris Errington, Christine Kingsley and Geoff Kingsley to the association. God bless, and guide you all.
The day ended with Arch Reverend Don, his delightful wife Shirley and all visiting Ministers and members of the White Light Spiritualist Church enjoying a happy, social and noisy evening at the local Chinese restaurant.
Thank you to all who attended and an especial thank you to all helpers from the White Light Church, especially committe members, Paul and Lance
Reverend Angela
