Unity Group enjoys day in the sun

Marrickville’s Church Unity Action Group enjoyed a big response with its stall at the Marrickville Festival.

Elaine Downing, St Brigid’s parishioner and group convenor, said the first response of many was surprise that the Churches were working together.

The Church Unity Action Group, founded by former St Brigid’s priest Fr Aiden Kay as a Jubilee initiative last year, is still running strong.

Church Unity Action Group is an example of grass-roots ecumenism in action.

Volunteers at the stall (pictured) gave out Christian booklets, videos, stories and pamphlets and sold cakes and crafts to raise money for Youth Off The Streets, The Christmas Bowl and the Trinity Youth Centre.

But the biggest success was the message sent by its presence.
