CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Presbytery Chair Rev Kaye Ronalds has been elected as Moderator-elect for the Queensland Synod.
Ms Ronalds said she was “humbled that you have seen in me something that I can bring to the church at this time”.
She said as the first female Moderator of the Queensland Synod she hoped to do justice to the legacy of the many fine Christian female leaders who have inspired and taught her in this church as well as the many men who have done the same.
She quoted the Basis of Union saying: “There is no gift without its corresponding service”.
“The Uniting Church is a great church and I am proud to be one of its ministers.”
She also thanked the other nominees as Synod members prayed the prayer, “I am no longer my own but yours”.
Moderator Rev Bruce Johnson also thanked the other nominees Peter Lockhart and Rob Bos for being willing to offer themselves for the service of the Church.
Ms Ronalds will begin her role as Moderator at the 29th Synod meeting.
