Journey magazine claimed two prizes at the Australasian Religious Press Association (ARPA) awards in Melbourne in September.
Scott Stephens’ article, Embracing uncertainty: The church in a secular age, was named best opinion piece in 2012.
Former advertising manager, Tara Burton, was awarded bronze in the best new writer category for her article, Love and loss, about the passing of a close friend.
“My article was about a very personal and heart wrenching time in my life,” said Ms Burton. “It’s kind of ironic because the night of the awards was Zoe’s birthday. It was a pretty glum day and hearing the news was almost like a message from her.”
Uniting Church publications won numerous awards at the hotly contested event which judges Christian publications throughout Australia and New Zealand. Former Insights editors, Marjorie Lewis-Jones and Stephen Webb, were awarded the organisation’s highest honour, the Gutenberg Award, for their outstanding 20-year contribution to Christian journalism.
ACCatalyst Managing Editor Peter Bentley was announced as the new ARPA President.
