The standout feature of the 2022 Australian Census results was the steep decline in the number of people claiming a church / Christian religious affiliation. It has dropped to 50% of the population. The numbers are now almost equally matched by people opting for 'No Religion' in their Census return. The situation is now at a level where it cannot be 'explained away,' and the programs devised to change the outcomes have not been effective.

Produktbeschreibung
The standout feature of the 2022 Australian Census results was the steep decline in the number of people claiming a church / Christian religious affiliation. It has dropped to 50% of the population. The numbers are now almost equally matched by people opting for 'No Religion' in their Census return. The situation is now at a level where it cannot be 'explained away,' and the programs devised to change the outcomes have not been effective. Who Cares? reflects Robin Trebilcock's fifty years of wrestling with this issue as a minister of the Uniting Church. Robin's, research, experimentation and experience gained through his ministry in a wide range of social contexts has helped him to identify the cultural influences driving the decline and what can be done to counter them. The Christian church is not the only social institution in Western culture that is in decline. The Federal and State election results revealed a radically different political movement - the Teal Independents and the Greens - now successfully challenging the major parties. A first glance this seems to show enough similarities to suggest that there may be a wider market for Who Cares? than de-churched and un-churched.

Autorenporträt
Robin Trebilcock is a retired Uniting Church minister ordained into its Congregational branch in 1969. For over 50 years Robin has developed a discipline of pausing and reflecting on the impact of social change on congregations in varied contexts; regional, rural and both inner and outer urban settings where he served. Drawing on experience and experimentation, Robin has taken time to describe the wider social trends in Western Culture and the implications this has for the way congregations engage and adapt their local ministry practices. This legacy is both informative and challenging for those reading the signs of the times and discerning the implications this has for emerging patterns of ministry. By documenting and drawing on the more universal conversations taking place about ministry models he continues to highlight the implications this has for the future of churches in the neighbourhood.
