In this section we will seek to highlight how Resolution 64, of the 15th Assembly in 2018, was the End of the UCA, as understood in the Basis of Union, and why R64 has made the situation untenable for those wishing to uphold to only one 'integrity', or one definition of marriage, and rejecting the other.

Dear ACC Congregations, Groups and Members.
There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens”. (Ecclesiastes 3:1 )
As most of you have heard and witnessed, it was decided to close the ACC at the Special Meeting of the Assembly of Confessing Congregations on the 25th of March.
We would like to invite you and your congregations to come online or in person to the “Thanksgiving to God – Closure service for the life and work of the Assembly of Confessing Congregations of the Uniting Church of Australia.” This worship service will be held at 6 Meta St, Mooloolaba QLD, on Sunday, 30th April 2023, at 4 p.m. (AEST) and will be streamed for those who cannot be with us in person. The streaming can be found live, at the time, on Faith Church Sunshine Coast’s Facebook page.

It would be wonderful if you could join us in person or via streaming for this historic occasion of the ACC’s closure.
I am praying that the Lord Jesus will guide you and your congregations for what the Lord wants for your future direction. I have included the Pogson Report, in case you don’t have it, which includes various options for ACC evangelical/reformed congregations whether you stay within the UCA or decide to move outside.
