The first four of these were written for the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA) National Assembly meeting in 2012 in Adelaide. The theme for that meeting was ‘Life Overflowing’. They are offered here,  with thanks for the work and gifts Professor Andrew Dutney, UCA President (2012-2015). His careful and thoughtful writing and presence has taught me much about where we are called to be.

The further pieces reflect areas of public and prophetic concern in the world. They are offered for people of faith to find focus in their prayers and actions.

The term volunteer is derived from the French voluntaire (one who offers themselves in military service) and the Latin voluntary (of one’s free will).
This statement is for volunteers to say when being welcomed in service
and for those around them to offer welcome. It is followed by a blessing.
