Uniting Church unveils new moderator September 20, 2009
The Uniting Church Synod of Victoria and Tasmania has installed its new moderator at a special meeting in Melbourne.
Isabel Thomas Dobson was officially handed the denomination's most senior position in front of a congregation of about 500 at the Wesley Church in Melbourne on Sunday.
A former teacher and political researcher for Tasmanian Liberal Senator John Watson, Ms Thomas Dobson, from the regional Victorian city of Bendigo, becomes the fifth woman, and third lay woman, to hold the top role.
She has challenged believers to "show love and care for the whole community and creation, close by and far away".
