An address by the Minister, Rev. Rob MacPherson - recorded on Sunday, 15th July, 2018 in the Unitarian Meeting House in Adelaide. Rob reflects on the inevitability of Change within our church and our attidudes to Change. He uses a classical analogy: the Ship of Theseus and the futile attempts by the Athenians to use it as his "lasting" memorial. In venerating the past, 'Loss aversion' to institutional change becomes idolatry.
So it is with human institutions - and our Church - which will inevitably evolve into something new. Time past is contained in time present. Our attitudes to change will be critical in how we - as a Church - are to shape our future and chart a way forward.
