How many uniting churches are there in Australia?
The Uniting Church in Australia is the third largest denomination in the country. It was formed on 22 June 1977 from the uniting of the Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches in Australia. Some Presbyterian and Methodist churches still remain independent outside of the union. In uniting, the members of those bodies testified "to that unity which is both Christ's gift and will for the Church" (Basis of Union, para. 1). Ecumenism remains a vital aspect in all of the Church's life and work - in local congregations, national commitments to work together with other churches, and relationships and partnerships with churches of various denominations in Asia and the Pacific.
Frequency of communion service in the Methodist?
The United Methodist Church recommends Communion be served frequently. A recent resolution recommends weekly celebration of Communion. In practice, while more churches are moving to weekly communion, most churches celebrate Communion once a month.John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, recommended receiving The Lord's Supper as often as one could. Another answer It depends on the Methodist Church and the member. Some churches still have communion infrequently (monthly or less) and some members still only receive communion on special occasions (such as Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and so on). However, as stated above, many Methodist Churches are increasing the frequency of receiving communion, or 'The Lord's Supper'. This will bring them more into line with the Anglican Church (where communion is usually weekly) as a result of the Anglican/Methodist Covenant that makes the promise that the two denominations should work more closely together in the future, possibly resulting, one day, in a united Church.

How often do Methodist churches change ministers?
United Methodist pastors are appointed regularly for one year at a time. Every year the Bishop of an Area appoints a pastor to remain at their current church or to a new church. There is no hard and fast rule of when a pastor will move. Some churches are served by a pastor for many years, but it is true that Methodist pastors do move a lot. General wisdom says that pastors stay in smaller churches, <200 members, for 3-5 years on average. In larger churches the average increases to 5-8 years. But, there's nothing mandating this. Fun fact: In the early days of the Methodist Church in the United States it wasn't uncommon for pastors to move every quarter year. It was preferred that the pastors be single so as to accommodate this lifestyle. This has long since passed away.
How many Methodist presidents have you had?
