Faith ForumWesley Faith Frontier Forums
The Wesley Faith Frontier Forums seek to reinvigorate our Christian faith with fresh meaning for today's world, and to deepen our individual spirituality. The group meets for periods of study and exploration on Sunday afternoons.
The sessions are open to everyone. You are especially encouraged to attend if you are thinking about confirmation. Enquiries can be made at the office about our next series.
Our Faith Frontier Forums arise because at Wesley we are very proud of our Uniting Church's Basis of Union, and we see great significance in its paragraph 11, titled "Scholarly Interpreters", which reads:
"The Uniting Church acknowledges that God has never left the church without faithful and scholarly interpreters of Scripture, or those who have reflected deeply upon, and acted trustingly in obedience to, God's living Word. In particular, the Uniting Church enters into the inheritance of literary, historical and scientific enquiry which has characterised recent centuries, and gives thanks for the knowledge of God's ways with humanity which are open to an informed faith?. It prays that it may be ready when occasion demands to confess the Lord in fresh words and deeds."
In addition, Exploring the Christian Faith and Confirmation classes are held annually.

A FRESH APPRECIATION OF THE WEIRDEST BOOK IN THE BIBLE
What’s the most confusing book in the Bible? Which book causes Christian to roll their eyes and shrug their shoulders in confusion and puzzlement?
Who are the four horsemen of the apocalypse? What’s the number of the beast, 666, really mean? What are these beasts and dragons all about? Are there angels and archangels? Who’s the “great whore”, who’s Gog and Magog? Does the book of Revelation have anything to teach us?
You’re invited to a four-week series of teaching and discussion on the Apocalypse of John, the last book in the Bible. Leader of our deliberations will be Gregor Henderson. Speak with him if you’d like further information.
The four sessions will be:
- Sunday 24th July 3.00pm – 5.00pm
- Sunday 31st July 3.00pm – 5.00pm
- Sunday 7th August 3.00pm – 5.00pm
- Sunday 21st August 3.00pm – 5.00pm
Anyone and everyone is welcome. Surprising discoveries may await you.
