Our People

Deirdre Ashe

Deirdre AsheDeirdre Ashe joined the NCCA in December 2015 as Director of Business and Finance. Since 2008 she has been working in Hong Kong but knew it was time to come home to Sydney. The role at the NCCA appealed to her on a number of fronts – Interfaith dialogue is of great interest, believing ‘God has a place for unity’; NATSIEC was an exciting project, and she thought she would like to contribute to Act for Peace.

Having been brought up in the Anglican Church, Deirdre became a member of The Salvation Army by choice. At 15 she was invited to a House Party, and for the first time ‘received’ that Christ had died for her personally. From there she felt called to worship at the local Chester Hill corps (church) and over the years has committed to various ministries including open airs, pub ministry and youth work.

Our Works - Act for Peace

The 2015 Christmas Bowl

The 2015 Christmas BowlEvery year, 100,000 compassionate Christians join together in solidarity through the Christmas Bowl appeal. In a tradition that goes back to 1948, churches, individuals and communities give to support people suffering from conflict and disaster around the world.

This year, the support you showed was truly incredible. Thanks to your amazing generosity, the Christmas Bowl is on track to raise $2.4 million. It’s a true outpouring of love and compassion that makes a real difference to the lives of so many people. Your gifts willmean that refugee mothers in Ethiopia can get the clean water they need to save their children from deadly diseases, and support other life-changing projects around the world.

Message from the General-Secretary

Sr Elizabeth Delaney SGSAt the beginning of each year many people make new resolutions. In doing so we often look back at what the previous year has brought us: joys, sufferings, celebrations, new relationships, losses, fulfilment and disappointments. Having looked back we can then face the coming year. Hopefully, we can look forward with commitment, enthusiasm, knowing that God is always with us.

The National Council of Churches in Australia is certainly looking forward with great optimism.  Much is happening.

christmas messages2015 sThe National Council of Churches of Australia is pleased to publish Christmas messages from Leaders of the Christian Churches in Australia.

Writing as they do each year, the Church leaders address the significance of the feast of the Nativity which marks the birth of Jesus Christ, reminding people of the historic event which took place in Bethlehem. It is a season for rejoicing.
