Congratulations to Emily

I met Emily when she did About FACE 8 in Northern Australia, a cultural exchange program in Aboriginal communities. She is smart and articulate. She has been involved in many ways in the life of the Uniting Church including working with Justice and International Mission (Vic/Tas Synod), and youth and young adults. She has served as a volunteer with the partner church in Bali, and has been accepted as an AYAD volunteer (AusAid program - Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development) in East Timor (Timor Leste). Emily has been a WCC Committee member, and has just been elected to the WCC Central Committee. Congratulations, Emily!!
Emily is one of the 150-member Central Committee, which serves as the main decision-making body of the Council between assemblies. The new Central Committee counts women: 39%, men: 61%, youth: 13%, indigenous persons: 5%, persons with disabilities: 2%, ordained: 68%; 32% lay persons. The nominations committee worked with a pool of names put forward by the WCC's 345 member churches. Full list here.
