INSTALLATION - REV LORRAINE STOKES – CHAIRPERSON OF THE
PRESBYTERY (WA)
Rev Dr Ian Tozer presented Rev Lorraine Stokes for installation as the Chairperson
of the Presbytery of Western Australia (WA). He spoke of the formation of the
Presbytery (WA) and of Rev Lorraine Stokes’ ministry since her youth and her
journey toward ordination in 2002. He noted her placements which have included
extensive engagement in rural and regional ministry in Western Australia. Rev
Stokes is currently a minister at Willetton and was appointed Chairperson-elect of
the Presbytery of Western Australia in November 2016.
The installation as Chair of the Presbytery of Western Australia was conducted by
Rev Steve Francis, outgoing Chair of the Presbytery of WA.
Rev Lorraine Stokes mentioned that many may not be familiar with a Presbytery
that was not also a Synod. She noted the learning curve ahead for both councils of
the church, emphasising the relationship-centred focus of a Presbytery.
Rev Stokes requested all to stay open to the inspiration of God, to really listen to
each other’s stories, to support, encourage and inspire each other to be the people of
God in this place.
INTRODUCTION TO THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
UNITING CHURCH –
FIRST STORY – Rev Geoff Blyth
The third Moderator of the Synod of Western Australia, Rev Geoff Blyth,
addressed two key questions: “Why Union Happened and What it meant for
people to come in to the Uniting Church.” In referring to the High Priestly
Prayer, part of Jesus’ farewell to his remaining eleven disciples in John 17: 1-
26, Rev Blyth spoke about the union as an act of obedience to the call to unity
made by Jesus and the Holy Spirit moving among the people at the time. The
coming together of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches
as one promoted a sense of integrity through unity and a steering away from
the sin that comes from division. It was a time of active belonging, engagement and growing a love for one another through getting to know one another.

20 May 2017 Annual Presbytery Meeting Minutes 3
REPORT FROM REV STEVE FRANCIS, OUTGOING CHAIRPERSON
OF PRESBYTERY
Rev Francis reflected on his two and half years as Chairperson of the
Presbytery. He thanked the Presbytery for the great privilege it had been and
spoke of the laughter, the joy and ultimately the great blessings he had
experienced. He spoke of the missional redemptive potential God has for us;
that while affirming what had been good, it was also necessary to look
closely at what had not gone well. The Presbytery recorded with acclamation
its appreciation for Rev Francis’ service.
PRESBYTERY REPORTS
In accordance with Resolution 5/2016-17 the Presbytery received and discussed
the reports separately (Attachment 2).
1. The Secretary of the Presbytery of Western Australia
RESOLUTION 2/2017-18
The Presbytery resolved by consensus to receive the Secretary of the Presbytery (WA) Report.
Rev Steve Francis took the Chair while Rev Lorraine Stokes presented a
Report on First Third ministry.
2. First Third ministry – Rev Lorraine Stokes
Rev Stokes reported the timeline, rationale and decisions made by the
Presbytery Standing Committee (PSC), concerning the placement of Rev
Brenton Prigge, the South West First Third Specialist. She concluded that
many relevant factors, the needs of the work of First Third and those of Rev
Prigge’s family had not been made available to the PSC at the time of making
its original decision to conclude the placement. Rev Prigge and related bodies
had not been engaged in discussion about his possible termination. As a result,
the PSC rescinded all proposals surrounding Rev Prigge’s termination in
March 2017 and it was advised that he would remain in placement until, at
least, 30 November 2017 when the new model for First Third would be
presented to Presbytery.
The PSC had, as a result of this case, proposed an amendment to the Rules which
will allow it to see the Minutes of each of its committees so that the PSC is more
fully informed.
The General Secretary had also given a verbal undertaking that a consultant would
be paid to oversee the work of creating a new First Third model.
RESOLUTION 3/2017-18
The Presbytery resolved by consensus to receive the Chairperson’s report on the South West First
Third placement.

members for the immensely complex work they had undertaken.

The Presbytery resolved by consensus to receive the Pastoral Relations Committee Report.
4. Candidates for Ministries Committee (CMC) – Rev Anne McAndrew
RESOLUTION 5/2017-18

PROPOSAL 2, AMENDMENT BY ADDITION and AMENDED PROPOSAL
– PRESBYTERY PROPERTY COMMITTEE (PPC)
Rev Mark Illingworth, a member of the Presbytery Property Committee and
the Strategy and Mission Planning Committee, outlined the reasons behind
the proposed role and function of the Presbytery Property Committee. It was
acknowledged that, at the time of separation between the Presbytery and
Synod, the processes to manage Presbytery property responsibilities were
only partly setup. Additionally, the Presbytery Property Committee ’s
powers, under the current Rules (P3.4), were limited. Extended discussion on
the comprehensive and thorough processes adhered to by all levels and bodies
dealing with Uniting Church property were explained. The Committee
recommended the amended proposal 2 to the Presbytery.
RESOLUTION 6/2017-18
The Presbytery resolved by consensus to:
1. resume all of its powers regarding Property currently referred to the Synod, noting that this
resumption of powers will, in terms of Paragraph 70 of the Constitution and Rule P1.2.4
(Consultation with bodies affected), first require consultation with and the consent of the Synod
(and a change to the By-Laws of the Resources Commission), and requests the Synod Standing
Committee to consider this as an urgent or emergent situation in terms of By-Law S1.2.5;
2. note that the Synod Standing Committee has appointed a Working Group consisting of the
General Secretary, Chair of Presbytery, a member of the Presbytery Property Committee and the
Chair of the Strategy and Mission Planning Committee to consider the missional implications of
all properties, and requests this Working Group to consult also with the Presbytery Standing
Committee, and the Resources Commission;
3. propose to the Synod, through the Church Law Committee, that the Chair of the Presbytery
Property Committee be a member of the Resources Commission.

the Synod, agreed to ask the Resources Board to investigate further. The
Presbytery also noted an invitation from David Gray to offer additional
assistance. The proposal’s request to ‘obtain’ a higher return on investments was
replaced with the word ‘investigate.’

The Presbytery resolved by consensus that the Resources Board be requested to investigate a higher
return on investments for Congregations when they have fixed deposits in the Uniting Church

THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITING CHURCH
- SECOND STORY – ALISON XAMON
Alison Xamon, a member of Victoria Park and Districts Star Street Uniting
Church, reflected on her experience of being a very excited eight year old
witnessing the birth of a new church in June of 1977. She remembered the
great joy, colour and cause for celebration that the creation of the Uniting
Church generated. In referencing Rev Dr John Squires’ publication, ‘The
DNA of the UCA,’ Alison spoke of how much the Uniting Church was part of
her DNA; how it had informed who she was, what she stood for and why that
was important. She concluded that she believed the Uniting Church to be
more relevant than ever, in a world hungry for a church that demonstrated
compassion, acceptance and courage; a church that embraced all people. She
identified the Uniting Church as one truly driven by the love of Jesus Christ.

20 May 2017 Annual Presbytery Meeting Minutes 9
THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITING CHURCH
– THIRD STORY – HANAMOA VAITOGI
Mrs Vaitogi, a member of the Perth Samoan Uniting Church, shared the
experience of her community transitioning from an identity founded in the
Methodist Church of Samoa to one associated with the Uniting Church. They
greatly loved and valued the connection with their mother church and were
unsure if they would find that same level of connection and love with another
church. Over time they came to realise that it was not the name of the church
that was important but bearing the name of Jesus Christ as one people. They
expressed a deep appreciation and gratitude to Rev Dr Ian Tozer and Rev Bev
Fabb for the time they spent with them, sharing what it meant to be part of the
Uniting Church. Mrs Vaitogi, on behalf of the Perth Samoan Uniting Church,
also thanked the Moderator, Rev Steve Francis, Rev David Tressler and the St
Martin’s Forrestfield Uniting Church community for welcoming them, valuing
and appreciating what they brought to the Uniting Church.
WHY PRESBYTERY? The members broke down in to a number of small table groups to discuss
three questions associated with the topic, Why Presbytery?
1. What excites you about your congregational life at the moment?
2. What challenges do you face as a congregation?
3. How can we, as a Presbytery, encourage one another, bear one
another’s burdens, grow in our faith and urge one another to persist in
responding to Christ’s call to each one of us?
PRESBYTERY REPORTS CONTINUED

OF PRESBYTERY
RESOLUTION 16/2017-18
The Presbytery:
1. Recorded its thanks to all who serve as chairs, convenors and members of Presbytery
committees and bodies;
2. Recorded its appreciation to Rev Steve Francis for his contribution as Chairperson of the
Presbytery:
Rev Steve Francis had served as Chairperson of the Presbytery of Western Australia since September,
2014. During that time Steve had combined his roles of Moderator and Chairperson of Presbytery and
had visited, led worship and preached in many congregations across the Presbytery as well as fulfilling
with grace all of the responsibilities that come with the office of chairperson. He had done so
enthusiastically and with great dedication as he had sought to live out the theme of his Moderatorial
term: ‘Towards healing and wholeness – through faith, hope and love’. The Presbytery recorded its
most sincere appreciation for all that Steve has contributed in the role as an expression of his calling as
a Minister of the Word in the Uniting Church.
3. Records its appreciation for the work of John Talbert as Chair of the Congregational Community
Services Committee:
John Talbert had an important role in the foundation and work of FinUCAre, which was
established in 2004 in Mandurah. FinUCAare is one of the largest financial counselling services in
Western Australia. John joined the then Congregational Community Services Commission as
member in 2010 and was Chair from July 2013. He chaired the Committee from November 2016
– May 2017. The Presbytery expressed its appreciation for John’s dedication and service in those
roles.
