Evangelicals Working for the Renewal of the Uniting Church, with Anna White-Atkins

The Political Animals

Jonathan is joined by Anna White-Atkins for a deep-dive on the Uniting Church from the perspective of its Evangelical pastors and congregations. They explore the good, the bad and the ugly of the Uniting Church and the commitment of its Evangelical members to work for its renewal.

Anna White-Atkins is a project officer at Propel Network, a new national network of evangelical leaders, congregations and agencies in the Uniting Church in Australia. Prior to joining Propel, she was pastor of a Uniting Church congregation in Melbourne for ten years.

The Political Animals is hosted by Dr Jonathan Cole, an academic, writer, speaker and translator specialising in political theology: the intersection of religion and politics. Jonathan was a senior terrorism analyst at Australian intelligence agency the Office of National Assessments where he worked on Islamist terrorism and the global jihadist movement. He is the author of The Reign of God: A Critical Engagement with Oliver O'Donovan's Theology of Political Authority and Christian Political Theology in an Age of Discontent: Mediating Scripture, Doctrine, and Political Reality.
