Welcome to the SACC ...

... the Council of Churches in South Australia.

The aim of the South Australian Council of Churches is to assist the churches across South Australia in their journey towards more visible signs of Christian unity and to explore what they might do better together than individually and by nurturing and nourishing their understanding, spiritual growth and practice of ecumenism.

As you, Father, are in me
and I am in you,
may they also be in us,
so that the world may believe
that you have sent me.
(John 17:21)

Our Vision is to act and work together for a common witness to the World. Several churches in South Australia make up the membership of SACC. A number of committees have responsibility for developing the vision, direction and review of the priorities.

If you want to get to know us, please give us a call and we'd be delighted to hear from you and to share information about the work of ecumenism.

Why I am still a Christian

Around fifty five people gathered over drinks and nibbles at St Chad’s, Fullarton, on the evening of 5 November 2009 to hear Rick Sarre, Professor of Law and Criminal Justice University of South Australia and Lorna Hallahan, Lecturer, School of Social Work, Flinders University, share something of their experience of the journey as a Christian in today’s world, as a catalyst for conversation.

Receptive Ecumenism

Many of us recognise that the ecumenical context has changed.

Rev Dr Denis Edwards explores with us how the primary ecumenical responsibility is to ask not "What do the other traditions first need to learn from us?" but "What do we need to learn from them?"

Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. 1 Peter 4:10
