Educating Christians

Educating Christians was started as a project of the Queensland Synod of the Uniting Church in Australia, in 2004. A report on theological education for the Synod pointed out that the most significant theological education happened in congregations where local people were equipped to engage in discipleship, mission, education, spiritual formation and training for ministry.

The Mission Consultant Team, then Duncan Macleod, Graham Beattie and Bruce Mullan, developed a template for reviewing resources for local Christian education. At the Synod gathering at Alexandra Park small groups were asked to list resources that had been used in their congregations.
