Christian Faith And The Economy In A Globalised World
With increasing debt levels, ageing populations, climate change, and deepening divisions between rich and poor, the world is staggering economically. Some international and Australian Christian bodies have called for profound economic changes for the flourishing of human life in a more equitable and sustainable world. These bodies include the World Council of Churches, the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutheran World Fellowship and the Uniting Church in Australia.

Social Networking Among Secondary Students
In the last few years, social networking has become a major preoccupation among young people. Surveys conducted among 3700 Australian school students in 2011 found that three out of four students are frequently involved in social networking and close to 40 per cent of all students say that social networking is very important for their peace and happiness.
Dropping Out Of Church
Two-thirds of all Australians over the age of 50 remember a time when they attended a church frequently when they were children. Among Australians aged between 30 and 50, approximately half have that memory. But among Australians under the age of 30, less than 30 per cent remember attending church frequently.
