Congregational Federation of Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Congregational Federation of Australia is Congregational denomination comprising fourteen congregations in New South Wales and Queensland. It has sixteen ordained ministers and some two thousand members and adherents, many of them Samoans.
[edit] History
Forty congregations of the Congregational Union of Australia decided not to join the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, and formed the Fellowship of Congregational Churches.
In July 1995 the ecumenically minded congregations left the Fellowship of Congregational Churches because of its conservative and non-ecumenical orientation and formed the Congregational Federation of Australia.
