Australia (United Church)[edit]

This case was the important precedent that, in 1977, allowed the "Continuing" Presbyterian Church to split from the Uniting Church when the Congregationalists, the Methodists, and the Presbyterian Church united to form the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA). The Methodists went over as a block, because all the church buildings went over to the new organization. The Presbyterians were able to split, because the church assets were split, according to precedent, between the uniting and the continuing elements of the church.

As in Scotland, the split in the church, and the division of assets, was the occasion of considerable bitterness. 121.200.27.15 (talk) 02:55, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
