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.
