Excerpt: The Uniting Church in Australia (UCA) was formed on June 22, 1977 when many congregations of the Methodist Church of Australasia, Presbyterian Church of Australia, and Congregational Union of Australia came together under the Basis of Union. The third largest Christian denomination in Australia (the Roman Catholic and the Anglican churches are larger) the Uniting Church has around 243,000 members in 2,500 congregations. According to the Australian Census in 2006 there are 1,135,427 people identifying some sort of association with the Uniting Church.

Excerpt: The United Church of Christ in the Philippines (Tagalog: Ang Nagkaisang Iglesia ni Cristo sa Pilipinas; Ilokano: Nagkaykaysa nga Iglesia Ni Cristo iti Filipinas) is a Christian denomination in the Philippines.

Its offices are located in Malate, Manila. Presbyterian missionaries in the Philippines in April 1901 invited missionaries of other evangelical churches to a conference to discuss the possibility of working together in the proclamation of the gospel of faith alone as the only way of salvation to Filipino Catholics, Muslims and pagans. Representatives included those from the Methodist Episcopal Church , the United Brethren in Christ (UBC) , the Northern Baptist Church , the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the Free Methodist Church, the British and Foreign Bible Society, the American Bible Society, and the Presbyterian Church. The Evangelical Union was then formed in April 26, 1901. The evangelical churches agreed to call themselves The Ev...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=23579592 ... Read more

Excerpt: Newington College -Newington House, Silverwater Collectable cigarette card featuring the Newington colours and crest, c.1920sAt the Methodist Conference of 1862, the Rev John Manton proposed that a collegiate institute, "decidedly Wesleyan in character", be founded in Sydney. It was expected that the school would "be open to the sons of parents of all religious denominations", and on Thursday 16 July 1863, the Wesleyan Collegiate Institute opened with 16 boys and a small number of theological students. As no suitable buildings were available in Sydney at the time, Newington House, the centrepiece of the 1,200-acre (4.9 km) John Blaxland's estate at Silverwater, was leased. Newington College, as the school soon became known, prospered during its time on the Parramatta River and in 1869 was the first Australian school to play rugby football (against the University of Sydney), and soon after was the first school in Australia to hold an athletics carnival. The Newington College Cadet Unit is the oldest corps in the Australian Army Cadets. Expanding student numbers meant that more extensive premises closer to the city were required. A bequest, by John Jones, of land at Stanmore, saw the College move to the newly fashionable inner-city suburbs in 1880. By resolution of the College Council, the name Newington College was perpetuated on the new site, and Newington has remained at Stanmore ever since. Seventy school and theological students migrated from Silverwater to Stanmore, and took residence in the grand stone edifice, designed by Thomas Rowe, that is still the centrepiece of Newington. The architectural historian Morton Herman said of Rowe's design, "the 1881 building is an almost p...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1839872 ... Read more

Excerpt: Methodist Ladies' College, Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia William Henry Fitchett was secretary of a committee formed in 1879 to start a secondary school for girls. MLC was founded on its current campus in Kew on 14 February 1882 as a modern school of the first order, with buildings that formed a collegiate institution for girls unsurpassed in the colonies. It was the first Australian girls school established by the Wesleyan Methodists and Fitchett was the first principal. The goal of its founders was to provide a high-class Christian education for girls, comparable with that provided elsewhere for boys. In 1990, MLC became the first school in the world to introduce laptop computers for all students from Year 5 12. In 2002, MLC won the title of 'Australian School of the Year', as published in The Australian newspaper. As with most Australian schools, MLC has a house system through which students partake in inter-house competitions and activities. The college currently has five houses: MLC offers an extensive range of VCE and Vocational Education Training (VET) courses, as well as the IB Diploma Programme. MLC Old Collegians Club LogoAlumni of the Methodist Ladies' College are known as 'Old Collegians' and automatically become members of the 'MLC Old Collegians' Club' upon graduation. The club was established on 29 October 1904 for the purpose of providing an on-going relationship between the College and its alumni. Some notable 'Old Collegians' include: Entertainment, Media and the Arts Medicine and Science Politics and the Law Sport Other MLC has produced four Rhodes Scholars: Karen Yeung (1987), Joanna Masel (1991), Sanya Reid Smith (1993) and Kate Robson (2001) ...
