Decision making in the church
The Uniting Church is very democratic but is not a democracy. A democracy is a form of government in which people as a whole rule. The Uniting Church believes that Christ alone is supreme and that he may speak to the church through any of its councils. It is the task of every council to wait upon God's Word, and to obey God's will in the matters allocated to its oversight. The church's representatives on any council do not represent a majority view on an issue, they seeks the will of God in prayer and by consulting together in the light of the Word of God.
