“On the Way Together: Report on a spirited journey towards the future” was adopted by the meeting of the Synod of Victoria and Tasmania in September 2008. Each section of this report is available from this page.
The On the Way Together process and its five life-giving themes are now the official means by which the Uniting Church in its many expressions across Victoria and Tasmania will be guided in discerning its priorities and directions for the future.
Councils, commissions, agencies and schools seeking to establish priorities for the direction of the Church are encouraged to download, print or distribute the report for use in their discernment.
