Alison is a Pastor of our Church, but since 2016 she has been leading the establishment of a new church community in Warrnambool, known as Sanctuary. She continues to be employed by this church until such time as the new congregation is sufficiently established to employ her in its own right. As well as preaching, teaching, parent lin gan writing, Alison blogs about the spirituality of everyday life at www.theideaofhome.blogspot.com.
Even in the midst of our worst troubles, uniting with God brings purpose and joy (which is not the same as mere happiness), and joy is an antidote to fear.
